The Marietta Daily Journal – Chairman on anti tax activist’s appointment ‘Hold off’

MARIETTA — County Chairman Tim Lee on Tuesday delayed anti-tax activist Lance Lamberton from being appointed to the county’s 15-member citizen group that provides oversight for special purpose local option sales tax funds.

First-year Commissioner Lisa Cupid planned to appoint Lamberton, president of the Cobb Taxpayers Association, to the county’s SPLOST watchdog committee, but during Tuesday’s meeting she announced that a member of the Board of Commissioners had approached her with concerns about Lamberton.

“I’m not going to reveal any names, but I heard from someone on the board who had some concerns, just one person who did,” Cupid said. “They saw the paper this morning, they came directly to me. It was minutes before this meeting. Just out of respect I want to give them the benefit of conversation before I make a motion.”
