The Marietta Daily Journal – Coleman’s re-election bid begins on heels of controversy

Councilman Anthony Coleman’s latest term with the City Council has included many controversies, yet despite public criticisms no one from Ward 5 has announced they will run against him in the Nov. 5 city elections.

In the past four years, Coleman pleaded guilty to assaulting fellow Councilwoman Annette Lewis in September 2011, faced many speakers at council meetings about the lack of progress from the 2009 parks bond on recreation centers in low-income areas, and most recently, missed a public meeting by the council on the $35 million redevelopment bond that syphoned money from a possible project on the segregation-era Lemon Street high school.
