Mayor Barry to resign today

quote:

Nashville Mayor Megan Barry is expected to announce her resignation at a press conference Tuesday morning. The mayor has begun calling close advisers to inform them of it, according to multiple sources. The resignation comes amid an investigation of an affair with her former bodyguard Metro police Sgt. Robert Forrest. The resignation means that Vice Mayor David Briley will become acting mayor.

Well, she was a bit of a train wreck. It's not like everybody didn't see this coming...

She's had a rough year. Her son died of a drug overdose recently.

She looks like she was probably decently hot about 10+ years ago.

Yup and she has made a point of reminding us of that in every interview about her affair.

She is losing her position for bad judgement, I get that. My question is about the bodyguard.

They are considering criminal charges since he claimed work hours when he was banging her and that is theft of public funds. If his job was to protect her, wasn’t he doing his job when he was with her locked in a room?

LINK"Forrest clocked in Oct. 18 at 7 a.m. and clocked out at 3:30 p.m., before reporting overtime from 3:30 p.m. until 9 p.m., the affidavit states. A photo taken at 3:39 p.m., when Forrest was on the clock and Barry’s calendar shows she planned to be in a meeting, shows an explicit image of a woman's body, according to the affidavit."

I wish SWB would resign. Any OT'er willing to take one for the team and have an affair with her?

At THAT is why she has to resign. I don't care what she does in her personal life but when she's doing this during the duty day and aiding/abetting in overtime fraud of a state employee, she's gone felony stupid.

Rumors she is negotiating with the DAs office to try and avoid charges.

Lock Her Up!

Affair didn’t cause this. Getting paid overtime to frick did.

As liberal as Davidson County is, the affair definitely didn't cause this. These are the same people that voted for Hillary. If multiple felonies didn't dissuade them in her case, a little martial infidelity certainty won't in Barry's.

There's a lot more about to come out about the financial improprieties, I think. The TBI and Treasury's investigations will prevent her from sweeping all of this under the rug like she hoped at first.

Good riddance to her, but the next one won't be any better.

EDIT: You can't make this up. "Barry worked in business ethics and corporate responsibility for the multinational telecommunications firm Nortel Networks"

Wasn't so much theft than the taxpayers on the hook for mini-vacations for them. She was going to state sanctioned events....supposedly.

Let that be a lesson to you folks. If you're going to have an affair, you don't run for mayor... you run for president
