Brookhaven’s New Mayor Handling City Government In Turmoil

Brookhaven has a new mayor. Rebecca Chase Williams was sworn in on June 9 and now takes over a city government in turmoil.

City attorney Tom Kurrie resigned two days ago, after the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the Brookhaven Post discovered Kurrie had withheld documents on sexual harassment allegations against previous mayor J. Max Davis. The reports said that Kurrie then released a document that had major alterations in it, and that he had also put out a false news release with Davis.
