McLendon Case Spurs Georgia Political Speculation
Atlanta observers anticipate a high court decision in the Gray versus McLendon railroad commissioner case by February. A McLendon win could trigger a legislative fight to remove him, while a loss would leave Gray in office and shift power dynamics among factions before the legislature. The case stirs talk of abolishing the office or shrinking the commission to three members, with party lines and anti administration sentiment shaping potential moves. The Supreme Court resumes work in January, but a ruling before February 1 is unlikely.
