Two years removed from the imprisonment of a county commissioner, Gwinnett officials debated whether the culture of leadership in the county government has improved.
“You can’t achieve leadership in a year,” Commissioner Lynette Howard said Friday during the second day of a strategic planning session for the county government . “You have to make sure that we send a message … that leadership is important and its still at the top of our priorities.”
The issue was No. 1 on a priority list devised by commissioners during a planning session a year ago. On Friday, though, one commissioner said the item could be removed from the list of action items and be placed into a “maintenance” state.
“I think we’ve worked that up pretty good. I think we need to maintain,” Commissioner Tommy Hunter said of the attempts to gain public trust in the wake of the county’s corruption scandals. “Last year it was an issue because it wasn’t there.”
