Clarksville Now reporting

The following is a letter sent via e-mail by Councilman Nick Steward:
“Serving the people of Clarksville since 2011 has been an honor and a privilege. My time in public service has taught me a great deal about myself and others in our community. It has presented both challenges and triumphs alike. It is with mixed feelings that I send this email to you.
Recently a career opportunity has presented itself and I have accepted it. This position requires that I relocate to the DC area, from a community which has embraced me and which I have come to love. This move also means that instead of being 9 hours away from my son, I will be 3 hours from him. In the past few years the distance has resulted in me only having my son for 10 days during the school year, this move results in me having him for 60 days during the school year in addition to the summer time.
This choice is not one I took lightly. I herby resign from the Clarksville City Council, effective 5Sept2013.
Respectfully,
Nick Steward”
