Sticking Up for Stanley Hawthorne in College Park, GA | Ep. 35

City manager Stanley Hawthorne was wrongfully fired with cause by just two members of his governing body. It was amateur night in Georgia on January 16, 2024 when Councilman Joe Carn rushed through this vote over the objections of Mayor Bianca Motley Broom. 

In this episode, I breakdown the tape and show how these unprofessional councilmembers voted to silence Hawthorne and prevent him from speaking during his termination. I also reveal how childish they were when none of them accepted the gavel from Mayor Broom so that she could make a public statement from the dais. 

Tune into the end to find out if Mr. Hawthorne is vindicated. Hint: This story has a happy ending.

SHOW NOTES:

In this episode I discussed Stanley Hawthorne's "Resignation & Release Agreement."
