PDF: E-mail exchange
A series of e-mails between Mayor Ron Littlefield and Mark West, president of the Chattanooga Tea Party, which is trying to recall Littlefield, shows a difference in opinion on Christian principles and whether the recall effort is a personal attack.
“I have regularly been attacked by the secular left, but I am a bit more sensitive when I am attacked by the Christian right,” Littlefield wrote in an e-mail to West. “You cannot deny that you have intentionally supported such a smear campaign.”
The e-mail exchanges were released to the Chattanooga Times Free Press Tuesday morning after filing an open records request.
The exchanges happened two weeks ago after an attempt by a third individual to arrange a meeting between Littlefield and West, the e-mails show.
