January 29, 2016
Dear Vice Mayor Briley,
I write to resign my position as elected Councilman for District 1. When I ran for this office, I did so with the goals of unifying the diverse communities of the district, encouraging growth that preserved its unique character, and promoting economic development that benefited all its residents. Today, I do not believe I can promote these goals effectively.
In my short time on the Council, I have come to respect its members greatly, and I am confident to make our city better. As these efforts continue, the people of Nashville deserve a Council that can operate without distraction. Unfortunately, I have become a distraction, and I believe District 1 will be better served if I step aside to allow others to serve.
Thank you again for the privilege of working with you.
Sincerely
Lionel Greene
Vice Mayor Briley announced that At Large Councilmember Sharon Hurt would handle District 1 matters until a replacement representative can be elected.
