After ‘racist pig’ post, a new Gwinnett normal: Disruption and disorder

In the nearly two months since Hunter wrote his controversial Facebook post calling civil rights leader and U.S. Rep. John Lewis a "racist pig," it's all become the new normal for Gwinnett County's Board of Commissioners.

It’s a tough, distracting development a body that, under Chairman Charlotte Nash’s leadership, has pulled itself from the shadow of a corruption scandal and heretofore prided itself on orderly business.

And it’s one that’s begun to flirt with a more tangible disruption to county business.

“There’s a certain decorum that needs to be maintained in a public meeting,” Nash said. “It’s hard. I’ll not make any bones about that. It’s hard to deal with situations where we’re not able to [maintain order].”
