The Hall County Board of Commissioners asserted earlier this week that politics and emotion have clouded the decisions of the seven-person Hall County Civil Service Board. In making a request that would disband the board in favor of a single administrative law officer, Chairman Richard Mecum told the local legislative delegation on Thursday that he wanted to get rid of partisanship, politics and friendships and get to “the facts of the law.” “We want the facts of the case and not personalities,” he added.
