A Roswell woman has filed a complaint with the State Attorney General's Office over an incident Tuesday in which she was ordered to turn off her video camera at the start of a Cumming City Council meeting. Nydia Tisdale of Roswell was at the meeting to follow water negotiations with Forsyth County.
Mayor Ford Gravitt said Thursday he thought the equipment, including a tripod, was disruptive and he offered to allow Tisdale to tape record the meeting or take notes. Georgia's Open Meetings Law provides for tape and video devices at public meetings.
Tisdale said she was escorted out by the police chief while the city attorney looked on.
