The afternoon of Saturday, June 9, was supposed to be a day of celebration for Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle. He attended a Hall County Republican Party forum, then headed to an event at the Hall County Sheriff’s Office and made his way to the grand opening of his Northeast Georgia campaign headquarters on Green Street in Gainesville. Yet looming over him was fallout from a secret audio recording of a private conversation between Cagle and Clay Tippins, a former Republican primary rival who finished fourth in the May 22 gubernatorial primary.
