Solicitor’s Office Looks into Transfer Station Rezonings

The Gwinnett Solicitor’s Office has confirmed that it is looking into at least two recent rezoning applications, where the applicant failed to disclose campaign contributions to County Commissioners, as required by state law. One case involves Mary Gary, a developer who is also an appointee of District 1 Commissioner Shirley Lasseter to the Planning Commission (can you say `putting the fox in charge of the hen house`?)
In my experience, the failure by rezoning applicants to disclose contributions is fairly common. It will be interesting to see what it is about these particular cases that caught the interest of the Solicitor’s Office.
“On May 21, we opened two files; James C. White doing business as Lancaster Enterprises LLC and Mark Gary doing business as Transfer East LLC,” wrote Gwinnett County Solicitor Rosanna Szabo in an e-mail to the Post. “Both of these cases are presently in investigation and the investigator is in the process of gathering information and documents with regard to violations of Georgia law including but not limited to the Official Code of Georgia 36-67A-4 failure to make disclosures.”
