Alexandria Mayor Beth Tripp Resigns!
Ten months after being elected Mayor of Alexandria, Beth Tripp is calling it quits.
Mayor Tripp contacted WJLE Wednesday afternoon to announce her resignation and issued the following prepared statement in a letter addressed to the Town of Alexandria:
“Dear Town of Alexandria,
After much discussion with family, friends, and supporters please accept this as my official notice of resignation effective immediately. It has been an honor serving my community. I have always respected the board’s decision and have executed all their decisions without debate. It saddens me, that they now have issues with the decisions they have voted in town meetings and do not want to take responsibility for their actions”
“I appreciate all those who have supported me and continue to support me. I will continue to appreciate every one of you”
“Sincerely,
Mayor Beth Tripp”
The board of aldermen consists of Vice Mayor Bobby Simpson, Luke Prichard, Jeff Ford, Jonathan Tripp, Sherry Tubbs, and David Cripps.
