A resident who identified himself as Shane used the public-comment period at the Sept. 30 Pendergrass City Council meeting to allege wrongdoing connected to the recent hiring of an individual named Doug Kidd and to announce that he would pursue public-records requests.
Shane told the council he believed Kidd was “in violation of a good behavior bond” and accused him of charging $600 for credit-card statements; he also said he was preparing submissions and a public-records request for “everybody in this city that get a paycheck.” Shane named other people during his remarks and said he believed legal action could follow.
