Judge rules on fired Chatham Area Transit reinstatement request
Former Chatham Area Transit CEO Bacarra Mauldin will not be reinstated to her position and CAT will not be prevented from taking measures to replace her while a lawsuit she filed last month makes its way through the court system. The decision to deny Mauldin s request for an injunction was made Wednesday by Chatham County Superior Court Judge Lisa Colbert.
During a hearing last week, Mauldin testified that it will be difficult for her to find a similar job given the media attention surrounding her termination by the CAT board of directors in January. Additionally, Mauldin said she isn t able to move for a position since she must stay within five hours of Birmingham, Alabama, where her husband receives medical treatment.

“And it is also going to allow the CAT organization to go forward in an orderly manner.”
Mauldin was fired by the board on Jan. 26 in a 6-3 vote. Savannah Alderman Detric Leggett, Gertrude Robinson and Clinton Edminster voted against the termination. The six who voted to fire Mauldin were Board Chairman Deidrick Cody, former Board Chair Michael O Halloran, former Chatham Commissioner Tabitha Odell and Chatham Commissioners Kenneth Adams, Bobby Lockett and Helen Stone.
The whistleblower violation allegations stem from Mauldin s findings related to a legal services request for proposals (RFP).
According to a Notice of Solicitation Decision available on CAT s website, the board of directors awarded a contract for legal services to Bouhan Falligant LLP on Nov. 17, 2020, after putting out an RFP in August.

NORTH JACKSON Macy’s is proposing a $30 million expansion project at its distribution facility in the township that would add 417 new jobs and create a fulfillment center.
The Ohio Tax Credit Authority on Monday approved the 1.472 percent, eight-year tax credit.
“We’ve been working with JobsOhio and other agencies on a possible collaboration to add to Macy’s facility in Jackson Township,” Andrea Schwartz, the company’s senior director of media relations, said. “We’re delighted the tax authority approved the proposal (Monday) and look forward to sharing further information Wednesday.”
Walter Good, Team NEO’s managing director of project management, who spoke on behalf of the company at the tax authority meeting, said Macy’s Corporate Services LLC is looking at locations in West Virginia and Illinois. But, he said, the tax credit is “the major factor for the company moving forward in Ohio.”
