Cobb County manager considered for Fulton job

Longtime Cobb County Manager David Hankerson is being considered for the same job in Fulton County, a county official confirmed to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Commissioner Tom Lowe said Hankerson is on the short list, but declined to say more.

Hankerson is eligible to retire from Cobb, meaning he could legally draw retirement while earning a six-figure salary in Fulton. Former Fulton County Manager Zachary Williams, who earned $200,000 per year, resigned to become DeKalb County’s chief operating officer.
