Coryell resigns from Troy City Council
Western News | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 14 years, 12 months AGO
The Troy City Council is in need of another member – and quick.
Mayor Don Banning announced Wednesday night that Larry Coryell had turned in a letter of resignation effective immediately.
“We had a work meeting last night (Tuesday) and he sat through it and turned it in at the end of the meeting,” Banning said.
The letter was straightforward with a simple announcement that he was resigning from his elected seat and all committee assignments. Coryell had two years remaining on his term.
Complicating matters is that Gary Rose, who was appointed to replace Banning earlier this month, will be out of town for six weeks beginning Feb. 1. As a result, the city council must have another member lined up or there will not be a quorum for meetings.
The city began advertising right away and Banning said e-mails were sent out on the vacancy on Wednesday.
Coryell was elected to the seat in the November 2007 general election – getting the most votes out of the four candidates. He took office in January 2008.

Troy Softball Takes Two From Drummond
The Drummond High School softball team rolled into Troy Saturday with high hopes of ending a long streak of being on the wrong end of the score, and for half of the first game of the doubleheader, looked like they had every chance of doing just that. However the host Trojans exploded for nine runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, and then shut down Drummond in the top of the fifth, winning 14-3. Troy kept the bats hot in the second game, plating 21 runs to end that game early as well, 21-11.
