It IS a sad day for our daughters, and even for myself as a youngish woman.
We believed in her.
Don't get me wrong, I am also one who agrees that her resignation was the right thing to do under these circumstances.
It will be that much harder though for the next woman who is drawn to lead our city.
If she is a progressive, then people will try and compare her to Mayor Barry....solely because of her womanhood.
Mayor Barry obviously made some poor choices, but I'm almost wondering if this wasn't in part, a set-up.
What did she have to gain from all of this?
If that man was taking nude photos of her without her knowledge, then he sounds like a predator.
Anyway, I'm glad she chose to step down, because all of this was certainly getting in the way of progress.
I know the next woman will be unfairly scrutinized because of this scandal, but women will never give up.
Hell, look at that thing we have sitting in the White House. He has "scandal" written all over his little hands!
He's just rich enough to afford really big erasers.
Back to Calimexico is where Megan Needs to Be - 6 years ago
I swear women are dumber than their Dildo's. Stupid questions like why are there criminal charges because she resigned? She committed a crime is why there are criminal charges. Why don't the men get charged? Forest pled guilty dimwit.
Women (most of them) vote on emotions, men (most of them) vote on reality. Ever notice how democrats and women say I "feel" like this is the right thing to do? No facts, no data, just feelings

I don't believe Megan Barry and her husband have a place of worship. First thing she did after being outed was to run to a black church, with TV camera rolling, crying and confessing her sins. begging forgiveness. Politics divide? Maybe in her case it was all political. and only sorry for the fact she got caught.

You commiecrats are the worst pieces of shit to ever inhabit a free nation. You know blue state dwellers are the dumbest pieces of shit to ever walk the streets. Since she is a Democrat, Jesus hating, gun hating, uber robbing urban girl you commiecrats are all cool with it and go rioting and say I don't want your damn forgiveness. Democrats are all about illegals coming in by the hordes, Islam is the way to go, and their aint No God and we booed God at the Democratic National Convention to show what we think of Judeo-Christians in this nation. Keep you Antifa, communist loving, gun hating, God Hating, carjacking, rioting ass out of our state comrade.

I think twice before deciding, I have nothing to say that already hasn't been said. Very sad for all of us. No hiding anymore. Mostly I am so so sad and sorry for the former Mrs and current Mr. They did not deserve any of this.so instead of pity for the guilty , grief for those two that have waisted a lifetime, maybe, and will try to start again.

What Happened to America? - 6 years ago
This is why America is in the shape it is in. This is why America is $20 TRILLION in debt. This is how socialists/communists take over a nation.
Look at these comments. She is wonderful. This is sad. Men get away with affairs. The children are starving. The old people have no medicine. The Bible says love the criminals. On and on with this lunacy. Actually defending a mayor who has stolen their earnings and committed felonies.
Just form the comments you can see people are incapable of independent thought, any sense of logic. They parrot CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the lame stream media. They read articles on this socialist web site and think it is TRUTH. When you present facts to show them they are delusional you get no reply. They do not even deny they are socialists/communists because they haven't a clue as to how those governments operate. They have been dumbed down to the point of no return.

After three years she can expunge this and run again. If Briley is staid, boring, and doesn't accomplish much, she likely has a chance of running again and winning, perhaps wiser for the experience.

@Lenetta McDonald
You DONT CARE about her sex life and affair?? The woman was staying in hotels that I cannot afford to have her affair. She was traveling to places I cannot afford to go. She was eating foods I cannot afford during her affair. She was traveling by air which I cannot afford. And she was paying for it with MY TAX DOLLARS and YOU DONT CARE?? Well I care.
Next you go off on your straw dog argument that men get away with it?? Are you nuts? In the last yearthere is no telling how many men who have lost their jobs for harassment of women, raping, groping, and men get away with it? You seem to pick and choose what you wish to comment on that has no relation to FACTS.
Then off you go on people starving and the children going hungry? How in hell does anyone go hungry in this nation. Most schools are feeding the children meals a day. We have a multi-BILLION dollar food stamp program that shells our money based on how many people are in the family. A family of 4 gets $800 a month in benefits if they are poor. I am behind them in the grocery lines and they use those EBT cards to eat better than I do. If they are starving it is because baby momma is selling her food for drugs.
Trump tries to stop it and says the people will get real food and no stamps. Hell the people go nuts, we cant have that. How we gonna pay for our drugs.
Next you talk about old people not having medication. George Bush started a BRAND NEW programthat cost BILLIONS. It is called Medicare Part D. Want to blame someone for old people blame Obama. He cut $10 BILLION from Medicare to get his Obamacare passed causing chaos for the Medicare program. Obama then makes a commercial of Republicans pusing old people in wheelchairs off a cliff.
Your propaganda and lies do not work. We have a damned program for everything. You seem to have missed the part in the Bible where it says if you are able and do not work, you do not eat.

The police officer gets to resign and draw his retirement yet pleads guilty to federal charges over this whole situation. Nashville still sends him a paycheck, your tax dollars. Why is this allowed to happen? I might feel a bit different if he wasn't getting a retirement check each month. But, that needs to change!

Lenetta McDonsld - 6 years ago
People living in glass houses should not throw stones. I don’t care about her affair. If she was doing her job I don’t care about her sex life. If she was a man we would not be hearing about this on the news frequently. There has been other politicians having affairs. I don’t see this coming to our attention. Some kids are homeless and starving. The only meals they receive is at school. What about the elderly that cannot afford medications or food. I am irate. Reporting the nude pictures could be the Mayor. When we get older we shouldn’t sit high and look low. That’s Gods job. Judge yea not for you will be judged. The people on the committee have forgotten what they did when they were young, but you are willing to destroy someone’s life because you are so holy now. I have lost all respect for these so call Christians.

Here comes Phil Bredesen - 6 years ago
We have Megan Clone, transplanted Yankee, now running for Senate, by the name of Phil Bredesen. A governor that took money from the transportation fund and put it in the General Fund to pay for his socialists programs. We then get a gas tax put on us. Phil Bredesen who in the last months of office had two of his aides apply for and receive Obama money to start up a solar company. After leaving office good old Phil is now CEO of that firm. I have already seen some of Comrade Bredesen's commercials talking about he solved our TNCare problem. Yeah he solved it by throwing tens of thousands out of the program. Megan trying to close the hospital for the poor and everyone talking about how great these people are. Hell the nuts in this state will most likely elect Bredesen.

Hang Her- Lock Her Up!! - 6 years ago
My God the articles written by this rag and some of the comments make me sick to my stomach. The article calls her socially progressive. Call the DEMOCRATS WHAT THEY ARE, they are SOCIALISTS and COMMUNISTS!!
The comments talking about what a good job she did? We the people have no idea what this criminal did. Comments about how she is wonderful. No she is a FELON, a THIEF, A LIAR. If she did anything wonderful it was with OUR MONEY.
Throw the FIRST STONE? Probably the only Bible verse a Democrat knows. There are other parts of the Bible that say you will reap what you sow, obey the law before you are sent before the judge, etc. I will throw the first stone and the second stone, just like I would at a rapist, a murderer, and anyone else who breaks the laws of society.
The American people are stupid and selfish. We should vote in the best interest of our nation. NO, we vote based our individual wants, Teachers unions. Police unions, Federal Unions, Welfare recipients voting based on their paychecks that WE THE PEOPLE MUST PAY. They don't care what else the crooked politicians do as long as we get ours.
So damned stupid we cant even look at Venezuela where about 15 years ago they voted for an outright Marxist government. They were one of the richest S American nations and elected a REDISTRIBUTOR of their paychecks. Where are they now? They are eating their pets, prostituting their children, fleeing into neighboring countries by the millions and Americans are so stupid they vote for a Bernie Sanders who thought Socialism was GREAT for Venezuela., I hate to see people in that condition but they did it to themselves. I have no pity whatsoever for the idiots.
It is absolutely disgusting what has happened to America and our freedoms slowly but surely being eroded. The government bought the rope with our money and we are hanging ourselves. To hell with this lying, thieving Mayor. I hope like hell this isn't the end of the charges for this criminal.

If this had been me or you, we would have been Under the Dang Jail and NO Dang Probation, that’s for Sure!! There tends to be 1 set of Laws and Rules for these Politicians and then 1 set for the “Average Joe Citizen”!! Smh
Rob - 6 years ago
If she deceived her husband for over two years, what has she done to the tax payers of Nashville that trusted her? She is evil and should do jail time. She lives by double standards. She did not even have any emotion when he kid died. What kind of mother is that? She is a heatless individual that will pay for what she has done sooner or later. Nashville is better off without this hypocritical crook!
