Clarksville NowCity of Clarksville livestreamCity Attorney Lance Baker
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Several City Council members offered strong criticism of City Attorney Lance Baker during a heated meeting that lasted late into the night Thursday.
The discussion came as part of a resolution to fire Baker, submitted by Ward 11 Councilwoman Ashlee Evans. Evans’ resolution referenced a number of ethics complaints submitted by Blackhorse Pub & Brewery owner Jeff Robinson against Baker, as well as Baker’s demeanor at January’s meeting, which Evans called obstructive.
Evans specifically referenced an exchange between Baker and Ward 8 Councilwoman Wanda Allen.
“I just don’t think that someone in his position should lack objectivity when talking to people on the council about things. Bringing emotion in there is not appropriate,” Evans said before the meeting, which lasted six hours, ending just after 10:30 p.m.
