GEORGIA: Bürgermeisterin von Atlanta vom Gouverneur nach Untersuchung wegen Diebstahls aus dem Amt entfernt

ATLANTA – Der Gouverneur von Georgia hat die Bürgermeisterin von Atlanta, Keisha Lance Bottoms, aus dem Amt entfernt, nachdem eine Untersuchung zu mutmaßlichem Diebstahl von städtischen Geldern geführt hatte.

Bottoms, die seit 2018 im Amt war, wurde am Freitag offiziell abgesetzt. Die Untersuchung ergab, dass sie unerlaubterweise Gelder aus der Stadtkasse abgezweigt hatte.

Die Bürgermeisterin bestritt die Anschuldigungen und betonte, dass sie immer im Interesse der Stadt gehandelt habe. Bottoms würde den Beschluss des Gouverneurs jedoch akzeptieren und sich aus dem Amt zurückziehen.

Die Einwohner von Atlanta reagierten gespalten auf die Nachricht. Einige unterstützten die Entscheidung des Gouverneurs, während andere loyal zu Bottoms standen und ihre Unschuld beteuerten.

Ein Nachfolger für Bottoms wird derzeit gesucht, während die Stadtverwaltung versucht, sich von diesem Skandal zu erholen und das Vertrauen der Bürger wiederherzustellen.
