Mooresville Mayor Chris Carney said he will not resign despite a no-confidence vote by the town board of commissioners Monday night.
In an interview with The Charlotte Observer, Carney said the vote was politically motivated.
Carney has been at the center of controversy for months over a surveillance video that reportedly shows him wandering Town Hall late one night in 2024 without pants.
Multiple lawsuits have been filed by former town employees who allege they faced retaliation after learning about the video. Carney has denied any involvement in retaliation.
Carney apologized for his actions Monday night, but denied any involvement in retaliation against employees.
