Body
CARNESVILLE – A complaint filed against Franklin County commissioners and other officials was dismissed Monday by the county’s ethics board. Daniele Weaver of Royston filed ethics complaints July 9 against the board of commissioners, the county’s planning and zoning board, County Manager Elizabeth Thomas (as planning director) and planning board member Guerry Hall. Weaver’s complaints were the first to ever be filed under the county’s ethics ordinance, which went into effect in 2011.
