Councilman Frank Wright will remain Nashville's mayor pro tem until next year's municipal election the board decided during a special called meeting Thursday night.
At the board's regular December meeting, Mayor Warren Evans swore in Councilman Donald Street as mayor pro tem, despite concerns from council members that the action was not following the town's charter. Evans said he had been choosing the mayor pro tem for the past 15 years and felt it was his duty to do so. Councilman Wright said the council should vote on the next mayor pro tem.

If there's anything Nashville has to be thankful of, it's Dr. Joseph Liverman.
I've heard a lot about Dr. Liverman but had never personally met him until last week. I wasn't sure what to expect and have to admit, I was a little nervous.
Nashville icon Dr. Joseph Liverman will celebrate his 50th anniversary of practicing medicine in Nashville this week.
Our ace reporter Amanda Clark interviewed Liverman last week, meeting him for the first time. When she returned to the office, she was overwhelmed of the level of commitment he has to his patients.
