UPDATE: Augusta Mayor Hardie Davis responds to former Mayor Bob Young’s request for special grand jury

“Former Mayor Younger is now a personal citizen, and, as such, he’s free to supply his opinion to Chief Decide Craig.  Nevertheless, he’s now not Augusta’s Chief Government and due to this fact lacks the authority to name for a Grand Jury investigation as he beforehand did concerning the Augusta Fireplace Division.  

 

I believe that you’re conscious that Decide Craig and the judges of the Richmond and Columbia judicial circuits (primarily based upon relevant authorized authority)have recused themselves from collaborating in issues involving the Workplace of the Mayor and me.

 

I’m assured that the Courtroom will proceed to adjust to relevant legislation and take each precaution to forestall the Courtroom from being dragged into political points and selections.  Public funds have already been expended to conduct an audit and investigation by Augusta Accounting agency Serrotta Maddox and Evans.  Furthermore, this challenge continues to be mentioned by the Metropolis’s elected leaders.  I imagine that it might not be smart for the Courtroom to insert itself into this dialogue and will solely result in an additional lack of confidence in our judiciary.”
