Tennessee Waltz: Love resigns

Yesterday Hamilton County School Board member Charles Love pleaded guilty yesterday for conspiracy to commit extortion and conspiracy to commit bribery charges. Today the Knox News reports he has resigned from the school board.

Hamilton County Commission Chairman Fred Skillern said commissioners will decide how to choose Love’s replacement at Wednesday’s meeting. He said he expects the earliest possible vote on a replacement would be during the commission’s Sept. 1 meeting.

Commissioner Greg Beck, who represents Love’s district, said he will assemble a group of constituents to sort through resumes and make a recommendation for a successor.
