The Political Fallout Begins...
Gwinnett Daily Post: Schrenko indicted on theft charges0 comments
Current schools Superintendent Kathy Cox, a fellow Republican, was aware of the investigation and her office has worked with the grand jury and authorities, said Cox spokesman Kirk Englehardt.
‘‘We’re going to continue to work with them and assist in any manner in which they need us,’’ he said.
Dan McLagan, a spokesman for Republican Gov. Sonny Perdue, said: ‘‘It’s always troubling when public officials are accused of wrongdoing. This is part of a nonpartisan process which will ultimately lead to a decision by the courts.’’
Democratic Party Chairman Bobby Kahn said the Schrenko indictment is part of a pattern of Republican abuses in state government, citing an ethics complaint pending against the governor over his campaign finances and a $14,000 ethics fine levied against State Senate Majority Leader Bill Stephens of Canton for sloppy accounting of campaign funds.
‘‘It looks to me like the new Georgia is a lot like the old Louisiana,’’ Kahn said.
