AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) Local leaders are expressing uncertainty about whether Augusta-Richmond County should adopt an ordinance that would penalize businesses for discriminating against people. News outlets report commissioners questioned Thursday whether the ordinance would encourage harassing complaints against businesses and whether it's too harsh to put a company out of business by revoking its license for a second conviction within one year. Mayor Hardie Davis's plan would ban discrimination based on race, sexual orientation, hairstyles, military status and other characteristics at Augusta businesses.
