Stockbridge mayor pro tem faces growing calls from city leaders to resign
City leaders are calling for the Stockbridge mayor pro-tem to resign.
STOCKBRIDGE, Ga. - The city of Stockbridge’s mayor pro tem is under fire by some of his own colleagues. Two of the city’s council members joined the mayor in calling for Councilman Elton Alexander’s resignation on Friday after a harassment lawsuit was settled alleging he tried to use his position to get a free meal at a bar-be-que joint and retaliated when the owner refused.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is not personal," said Stockbridge councilmember LaKeisha Gantt at a news conference Friday morning outside of City Hall on Friday morning. "This is $1,725,000 to a victim who has been ridiculed."
