Cave City Council Member Resigns
Cave City will have to fill a council seat following the immediate resignation of Brandon Wright. In his letter to the city, dated Friday, June 27th, he cites ongoing health concerns as a reason for stepping down. The council resignation is the third in as many years for Cave City. In what has been a recurring theme among some local city governments, Horse Cave and Munfordville have also been faced with replacing council members for various reasons over the past year. Cave City Council has the right to fill the council seat within 30 days. If the seat remains unfilled after that time, the governor names a replacement according to protocol.
