DEL.ICIO.USSusan Bailey takes Hapeville seat
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Susan Bailey defeated Ed Ray in a special election to fill a vacant city council seat in Hapeville.
Bailey, an assistant to senior vice president and to the chairman emeritus of the Atlanta Braves, is currently a member of the board of directors of the Hapeville Development Authority.
The seat became vacant after councilman Bruce Gindlesperger died of complications with pancreatic cancer in February.
Ray was first elected councilman in summer 2003, after current mayor, Alan Hallman, gave up his council seat to run for mayor. Ray finished out the remaining two years of Hallman’s term and ran again last November, losing to Gindlesperger. He also has served as chairman and vice chairman of the Hapeville Development Authority.
Bailey had 357 votes to Ray’s 182.
