Danville's City Manager resigned today ... after coming under attack by members of City Council.
Council requested Ray Griffin Junior's resignation after a closed executive session on June 10th.
But information on the conflict between Griffin and City Council is only beginning to surface.

Ray Griffin Junior WASN'T present at that discussion concerning the future of his 7-year career as Danville's City Manager.
But he says there are NO hard feelings...YET.
Griffin made the this statement to News 7:
"I THINK I LEAVE SOME VERY GOOD THINGS IN PLACE THAT WILL SERVE THE CITY WELL, SUCH AS THE DEBT REDUCTION PLAN, MOVING WITH THE REORGANIZATION OF UTILITIES UNDER A GENERAL MANAGER AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S RECENT ACCREDITATION. I'M VERY PROUD OF THOSE." -Ray Griffin, Jr.

One surprise for Griffin today was the date of his resignation.
This morning, he said he and Council had reached the agreement that he'd stay on until the end of the year.

The former Virginia Tech quarterback, who now plays for the 49ers, is accused of raping a young woman in Blacksburg earlier this year.
Prosecutors believe it would be impossible to find an impartial jury next month because of the intense media coverage that's already been given to the case.
They're also concerned Druckenmiller's local popularity will work to his advantage in court.
In their motion-- prosecutors indicated it would be hard to find jurors who weren't Tech football fans or tied to the university in some way.
