Macrina's water confirmation held up by Atlanta council

Atlanta’s new commissioner of the Department of Watershed Management, Jo Ann  Macrina, is on the job – kinda.

On Tuesday, the city’s utilities committee, held up her confirmation because some members of the council want to meet her before rubber-stamping her new job.

Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed announced in early April that Macrina, who held similar watershed positions in DeKalb County, would be hired to run Atlanta’s massive program, which is concurrently dealing with customer complaints and following a federal consent decree.
