WALB-TV Reports: Camilla mayor boycotts city meetings, city manager fights back

Our news parters at WALB-TV are reporting:

CAMILLA, GA (WALB) – Tensions are high in Camilla after Mayor Rufus Davis and a newly elected councilman Venterra Pollard announced they will be sitting out of city council meetings. The announcement comes at the same time as a new charter was passed in the city.

“We are taking a stance and we are engaging in a non-violent resistance campaign by sitting out of city meetings to insidious discrimination that is taking place in our city,” said Davis. 

Mayor Davis said he’s fed up with what he said is discrimination within the city government.
