STONECREST, Ga. (AP) A state lawmaker is calling for Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp to remove Stonecrest s mayor from office amid a report into the city s use of $6 million in COVID-19 relief funds.
Democratic Sen. Emanuel Jones, of Decatur, said he plans to provide the full investigative report to Kemp, the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice, which he previously asked to investigate how the money was spent, accusing Mayor Jason Lary of misusing the funds for his own personal gain, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
“There’s a whole bunch of money missing, and someone needs to be held accountable,” Jones said.
