Attorney General Sam Olens filed a complaint Tuesday in Forsyth County Superior Court against Cumming mayor Henry Gravitt for violating Georgia open meetings laws by ordering activist Nydia Tisdale to turn off her video camera and leave an April 17 meeting of the Cumming City Council. The city could be fined as much as $6,000, plus attorney fees, said Attorney General spokesperson Lauren Kane. The city has 30 days to respond to the complaint which may not have been served Tuesday, said Kane. Cumming city attorney Dana Miles could not be reached.
