Georgia highway board lacks authority to appoint vice chairman
Attorney General Napier ruled the highway board cannot create a vice chairman post and warrants must bear signatures of two members or a majority of three. Warrants totaling 546 132.27 were challenged after only two members attended a meeting. Chairman Holder was ousted by Gov. Walker, and the case touches state funds and board notice requirements.
