A PETITION FROM THE RESIDENTS OF DAVIDSON COUNTY
We, the undersigned residents of Davidson County, Tennessee, state that, based on evident facts which have recently come to light, it is wholly appropriate under the rights accorded to free people under a free government that we protest the fact that:
1. A relationship of a sexual nature has existed between the Mayor of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County and a member of her protection detail (which is furnished at the expense of Davidson County taxpayers by the Metropolitan Police Department) for a period of many months. During this relationship, overtime pay accrued by this officer has skyrocketed compared to that earned by him while serving in the protection detail under previous mayors.
2. During this relationship, the amount of overnight travel billed by the mayor’s office to the taxpayers has likewise increased significantly, which certainly gives an appearance of taxpayer funding being used to further this relationship.
3. The relationship was, regardless of consent, a workplace relationship between a person in a high position of authority and a person of lesser rank directly subordinate to the mayor. This sort of relationship which, when brought to light in the context of private businesses, almost inevitably results in the resignation or forced termination of the parties involved, and at the very least the person in the position of authority.
We feel that our government, with its power to extract our money involuntarily by means of taxation, should be held to no lower standard than a private business which we could voluntarily choose to patronize.
Therefore, we call on Megan Barry to resign immediately from the office of Mayor of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, so that the stigma which now exists can be removed from that office, so that the business of the county can resume being administered on a straightforward basis, and that the investigation of this potential abuse of the public’s money can be conducted in an atmosphere of the utmost honesty, without fear or favor.

Look at these numbers climbing up and honestly it makes me think about how much taxpayer money was just thrown away on those trips while we were all just trying to live our lives here. We are almost at one hundred signatures so if you have ten minutes please just text this link to your neighbors because we need to hit that mark before anyone forgets just how much this whole situation matters.

This is far beyond the money aspect. This is an issue of personal as well as professional integrity, honor of the office and broken trust of the voters. I'd be saying the same if she were a conservative.
This isn’t about her having an affair. This is about her extended trips with her lover, paid for on my dime. Her offer to write a check to make things right is an admission of guilt, in my humble opinion.
If the same scandal happened in a corporate setting, the executive would be fired. Regardless, the people must be able to trust their Mayor. How can we trust her judgment on anything now? She has disgraced the office and must resign.
Mayor broke fiduciary trust with the people of Nashville. Not possible to assure the people without a doubt of accurate accounting of the taxpayers money during away trips the two made alone such as the one to Greece. #cloudofmistrust
Megan Barry should resign from office due to inappropriate behavior and that the investigation of this potential abuse of the public’s money can be conducted in an atmosphere of the utmost honesty, without fear or favor.
She needs to go! She has shown not to be trusted and shamed Nashville.
I knew when they elected her this is exactly what we were going to end up with

Can't be trusted with our tax dollars. Can't be trusted with our historical landmarks that are miraculously left. Can't be trusted to lead by example. Can't be trusted to keep her oath of office. Can't be trusted... so many blanks to fill in. Get her out, get back to work.
