Former Cobb County Commission Chairman Bill Byrne picked up another notable endorsement Monday, this time from the Cobb Taxpayers Association.
Byrne, who is one of three candidates, challenging incumbent Tim Lee for Cobb's top elected post, was endorsed last month by the county's fraternal order of police. The CTA touted Byrne's opposition to the July 31 regional transportation referendum, and a county millage rate increase approved by commissioner's last year, along with his support for local SPLOST reform as reasons for its endorsement.
The CTA's president Lance Lamberton called Byrne a proven leader who can help get the local economy back on track through tax relief.
