We're told that at her meeting with Cabinet-level officials on Monday, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms asked for the resignation of every top Atlanta official.
There’s no indication that she will accept them all, but the action presages a house-cleaning expected to occur before her 100th day in office.
The demand comes after the latest federal indictment last week in the long-running probe into corruption in Atlanta City Hall. Here's the top of the AJC Sunday story on the issue:
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has said the city won't know how deeply the city's procurement process has been exploited until federal prosecutors complete their bribery investigation at City Hall.
An indictment unsealed Thursday indicates Bottoms could be waiting a while.
The indictment against The Rev. Mitzi Bickers suggests the new mayor will have to tackle pervasive vulnerabilities in procurement and a culture of corruption.
