Fire Chief, City Secretary Named Interim Whitehouse City Managers

WHITEHOUSE — Whitehouse Fire Chief Madison Johnson and City Secretary Stefani Wright will team up to handle interim city manager duties while a replacement is sought for Kevin Huckabee (pictured). That’s according to KETK. Huckabee’s resignation as city manager was announced Monday night at a called city council meeting. Following an executive session, the city council voted to accept Huckabee’s resignation. In a statement released by Huckabee, he said he felt his mission with the city hand been hindered by, what he called, “malicious, untruthful statements” made back in May by a Texas Municipal Police Association representative. He said he would continue to combat the false statements. Huckabee said he thought it was best for him and his family that he resign.
