WARNER ROBINS, Ga. This month was the first meeting of the new Public Safety Committee in the city of Warner Robins. It s a way for Mayor Randy Toms and city council to work hand-in-hand with department heads to keep people safe.
The committee is made up of Mayor Toms and city council members Clifford Holmes and Kevin Lashley. The team was created back in April, but they held the first meeting June 17.
The suit alleges Toms, a White elected official, has displayed racial animus towards minority-owned businesses.
Those minority-owned businesses are the ones who filed the suit, A2D and eCBI Warner.
They claim that Toms tried to steer business away from them once they installed a fiber optic network and towards Hargray Communications Group, Inc, which the suit says is a predominantly white-owned company.
The suit also alleges Toms instructed business owners, both established and new to the City, not to engage in any business transactions with A2D or eCBI.
They go on to claim the city s Director of Building and Transportation, Bill Mulkey, conspired with Toms to deny right-of-way permits for the two companies.
