Carthage City Council member resigns effective immediately

KSN reports that Carthage City Council member Dustin Edge resigned effective immediately.

Edge, the KSN report notes, was one of the council members who was elected with the support of Carthage Citizens United and was one of seven members who were backing the impeachment of Mayor Dan Rife and caused the resignation of City Attorney Nate Dally and the firing of City Administrator Greg Dagnan.

Rife's impeachment hearing is scheduled for 3 p.m. Wednesday at the Carthage Water and Electric community room, according to the city website, but KSN says the hearing has been postponed.
