Savannah developer’s role questioned following de-annexation push | savannahnow.com

The role of a well-known Savannah businessman and civic leader has come under question following Chatham County Chairman Al Scott’s attempt to de-annex Hutchinson Island from the city.

Developer Steve Green, who served as Scott’s 2012 campaign manager, was the only non-county official or non-state lawmaker who was at the Olde Pink House on Jan. 25 when the chairman presented his request to local Georgia legislators.

Two people who attended the meeting, Commissioner Helen Stone and State Rep. Ron Stephens, said about two weeks ago they thought Green was working as a lobbyist for the county.

On Thursday, Stephens said he misspoke and he believed that Green was at the lunch as Scott’s consultant.
