Bob Smith, who resigned as Mayor of Watkinsville this past March, spoke at last night’s City Council meeting in Watkinsville, calling for an audit of city finances.
Smith, a former state Representative from Oconee County, is calling out what he says is a conflict of interest for his replacement in the Mayor’s office.
Brian Brodrick serves on the Board of a bank in which the City of Watkinsville keeps its money.
Brodrick, who is being challenged by political newcomer Rebecca Billings, is running for full two-year term as Mayor in an election that takes places in 12 days; early voting for the November 2 election continues through October 29.
