Georgia city’s youngest-ever mayor stripped of duties, access over alleged spending habits

A Georgia city’s youngest-ever mayor was temporarily stripped of his duties and privileges amid an investigation over his alleged spending – less than a year after being elected on a campaign premised around accountability and transparency.

Jayden Williams, the 22-year-old mayor of Stockbridge, Ga., was ordered to hand over his city-issued credit cards by Monday at noon due to his spending, but failed to meet the deadline, Atlanta News First reported.

Stockbridge city council officials launched a probe into Williams after “information” was presented to finance officials and the city attorney, without divulging further.
