Paris, TN – The City Manager of Paris, Tennessee has resigned. Jack Tarkington says it was "decision that had to be made," and that he's leaving with his dignity, integrity and credibility intact. Mayor Sam Tharpe says the move will be discussed at a city commission meeting today. Tarkington held the post for over three years during a tenure described by the Paris Post Intelligencer as "somewhat stormy," where discontent brewed within the city government.
