The city of Gainesville doesn’t have “an ugly history of discrimination,” Mayor Danny Dunagan said in a statement Tuesday night at the City Council meeting. The statement giving the city’s position on its at-large voting system, read by Dunagan on behalf of the council, seemed to be a rebuttal to nearly identical comments made by Jerry Gonzalez, the executive director of the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials at the June 4 council meeting. “We want the citizens of Gainesville to understand our position,” Dunagan read.
