DeVaney is out, but McIntyre is in: Augusta commission looks to honor the former mayor, convicted of federal crime
As Sias received his sentence just last week, some commissioners are proposing this week to rename two Augusta landmarks—this time, in honor of former mayor Ed McIntyre. McIntyre, also convicted of federal crimes, was the city’s first black public official, and a champion for the creation of Augusta’s Riverwalk.
