Lang Wiseman, the deputy to Gov. Bill Lee and the administration’s chief legal counsel, is stepping down on Friday, the Tennessee Journal reports. Wiseman’s plans to leave had been announced earlier, but he had not given a firm date for his departure. He will return to the private sector. Lee has yet to name a successor. Wiseman is a former University of Tennessee basketball star who went on to earn a law degree from Harvard University. He is also a former Shelby County Republican Party chair who later served on the reconstituted University of Tennessee Board.
