East Ridge city manager Curtis Adams suddenly resigns

I first caught the news as twittered by Jonathan Mason, then found a Chattanoogan.com link at Alice's blog.

I guess the uproar over his recent comments was just too much. It's a little strange, though, because as County Commissioner for District 8 over the past two decades, Curtis Adams has not been one to shy away from controversial positions and statements, no matter how noisy his detractors became.

Remember the Ten Commandments fiasco? The long public feud with former schools Superintendent Jesse Register? The comments about women not being suited to hold public office? What is different now?

I think he honestly knew there was absolutely no good way out of this situation. He didn't need this job, so why put up with all the headaches? The citizens of East Ridge want their city to grow and improve, but they think their 1995 budget will do the trick.
