Chris Dorsey, the last man standing in the search for a new East Ridge city manager, has dropped out.

It was a race that started with 82 applicants and now has the city council wondering what to do next.

The move comes after East Ridge made a motion to pay Dorsey $120,000 dollars per year, but Dorsey said he wasn't prepared to commit.
It turns out Dorsey is also one of three candidates for Signal Mountain's town manager job, and some suspect he likes the idea of that gig more than the one in East Ridge.

That leaves East Ridge in a pickle as it continues to look for a replacement for Tim Gobble, who resigned Feb. 7.
