Clarksville NowFrank Tate Update, 6:10 p.m.: The nature of the investigation that led to the firing remains under wraps, including, apparently, to Frank Tate himself. Clarksville Now reached out to Tate for a reaction to his termination. His wife, Holly, responded by text. “We were not given any information regarding the reasons behind the decision to terminate,” she said. “Frank has the right to defend himself and our family, and we can only conclude this is potentially a political matter. “We have consulted legal counsel. I completely support and stand by behind Frank and (am) proud of what he has accomplished for the Clarksville community.”
