Municipal government is usually defined by procedure, paperwork, and painfully slow decision-making.
Not in the small town of Cohutta, Georgia.
In the span of a little over a week, the town went from a workplace mediation involving the mayor’s wife, to the firing of the entire police department, to an emergency public meeting that reinstated every officer almost as quickly as they had been dismissed.
According toWRCB-TV, the issue originally began between local officers and Cohutta Mayor Ron Shinnick’s wife.
Several officers had filed complaints about Shinnick’s wife, Pam, who had previously been relieved from her duties as town clerk for creating a hostile work environment.
The officers alleged that Pam still had access to private town information and other sensitive data.
This would eventually lead to formal mediation resolving the matter, and the town attorney assuring the local police officers that their jobs were not in any sort of danger.
About a week later, by Wednesday morning, Shinnick had dissolved the entire department.
Georgia mayor fires the entire police force for making his wife upset.
Cohutta Mayor Ron Shinnick fired all 10 employees of the Cohutta Police Department for making “inappropriate comments” that upset his wife, Pam.
