Attorney chosen for ethics complaint against council members

WARNER ROBINS, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT)- The ethics complaint filed against six Warner Robins city council members is being reviewed by attorney Ted Meeker.

The Executive Assistant to the Mayor, Mandy Stella, says that a computer program randomly selected the attorney from a list of six within a 50-mile radius.

According to the complaint, the council members did not hold hearings for the 2020 city budget in their districts.

The complaint states that a newly passed ordinance makes budget hearings mandatory.

Stella says council members have until August 2nd to respond to attorney Meeker.
