Americus Kiwanis Holds Candidate Forum
The Americus Kiwanis Club held a candidate forum at Georgia Southwestern University, where mayoral candidates shared their views on the City Manager role.
Following the recent split decision to terminate former City Manager Diadra Powell, candidates were asked if the office of City Manager needed to be changed.
“The ones that hired you may not be the ones that are there when you’re there for a long period of time.”
Former Mayor Barry Blount described the role as politicized, with Council Members who hire a City Manager often being replaced with new ones having different views.
