"The mayor said then he could do the job just as well until a permanent city manager was hired.
However, State Attorney General Thurbert Baker reviewed the issue and issued a written opinion earlier this month making it clear that a mayor cannot also serve as city manager under Georgia law. Mayors aren't supposed to give direction or orders to city employees publicly or privately because that's the duty of city managers, Baker wrote in his opinion.
The mayor said Wednesday that Baker's opinion is not binding, a comment that angered Auld.
"His comments suggest he believes he is above the law," Auld said."
I asked around to friends and family for opinions and one said,
"The people of Snellville didn't elect him [Oberholtzer] to serve as City Manager, they voted him in to be Mayor.
Isn't it amazing that simplifying something does give you the answer you need?
