Troy ManeyCLEVELAND, Tenn. – An anonymous letter alleging mismanagement of Bradley County Fire & Rescue and claiming the support of 75 unidentified individuals has been given to the Bradley County Mayor’s Office and the Bradley County Commission.
The letter — dated Oct. 9 but distributed Tuesday — calls for the removal of Chief Troy Maney and Battalion Commander Don Tankersley.
Official responses to the unsigned document have been measured.
“With unsigned letters, what can you say?” Maney said. “There’s no way to respond.”
The mayor’s office had nothing to say about the letter, which stated that the department has “steadily deteriorated” in morale, performance, direction and vision since Maney was appointed chief in August 2013.
