From UVA Institute of Government's Tedd Povar

In a letter dated December 19, and a copy of which was received on December 22, Kilmarnock Town Manager Lara N. Burleson announced her resignation. She wrote, "In light of the current situation, it is with deep sadness that I present my resignation as Kilmarnock's Town Manager. The Council/Manager relationship needs to be built on a foundation of mutual trust and respect. Due to events that have unfolded both behind closed doors and in the public eye that relationship of trust and respect has been shaken to its core and I am saddened for it." She thanked the staff who worked with her while she was town manager, and said her last day would be the 15th of January.
