......I don't live in Wole Ralph's district, but I have been owning a home in Clayton County for 35 years. In my opinion, What Ralph did, and continue to do in our county Government, has ill affects on every tax payer in Clayton County, Ga.
Lawson aimed her attack at Commissioners Wole Ralph, Gail Hambrick and Sonna Singleton, who voted for both resolutions. Chairman Eldrin Bell voted against them. Commissioner Michael Edmondson was absent.
Commissioners Wole Ralph and Gail Hambrick quickly left the room after the meeting ended, and Commissioner Sonna Singleton also left not too long afterwards.

Boc Appoints Wade Starr As County Manager
Quote:
The commission voted 3-1 Tuesday night to appoint Starr, currently the county’s fleet maintenance director, to the newly created position. Commission Chairman Eldrin Bell voted against the appointment, while Commissioner Michael Edmondson was not present for the vote.
Commission Vice Chairman Wole Ralph said Starr, Fields and Morris were “strong candidates,” but he added that Starr’s personal connections to the county made him the best choice.
Commission Chairman Bell said he voted against appointing Starr to the county manager’s position

.......And Guess Who These County Officials Might Be :
County Officials Objects To Public Corruption Investigations ?
Quote:
Commissioners Sonna Singleton, Gail Hambrick and Wole Ralph; County Manager Wade Starr; and finance director Angela Jackson said in the court filing District Attorney Tracy Graham Lawson was using the work of that investigative grand jury to raise campaign funds and to ask for support for her re-election campaign.

Feeding From The County Tax Trough ?

Starr’s application for the county manager position shows he is the only finalist who listed any relatives as Clayton County employees. His daughter, Shada Starr; his son, Keenan Starr, and his brothers, Danny and Kenneth Starr, are employees of the county, according to Wade Starr’s application

Clayton names finalists for county manager job
Clayton County commissioners have named three finalists for the newly-created county manager’s job.
They are Kenneth Fields, an executive with experience running municipalities in Florida; Eldridge Morris, a risk manager for Fulton County and Wade Starr, director of Clayton County’s fleet maintenance.
A final decision will be made in September. The job will pay about $150,000 a year.
