Madison Alderman-at-large Lisa Clingan-Smith has resigned after 17 years in her elected position.
Clingan-Smith submitted her resignation to Mayor Mary Hawkins Butler and the Board of Aldermen on Tuesday. Clingan-Smith is starting work Nov. 1 with the Mississippi Public Service Commission in a federally funded position.
Under the federal Hatch Act, Clingan-Smith said she can not serve in her elected capacity while on the federal payroll as a special staff chief for the PSC.

“I thank her for her courageous 17 years of service,” the mayor said.
