The meeting of elected officials who compose the Policy Committee of the Gainesville Hall Metropolitan Planning Commission showed their true colors at their meeting on Aug. 8. Shortly before the meeting began, Wayne Stradley, chairman of the Citizens Advisory Committee of the GHMPO, approached the elected officials with a question about the agenda for the meeting. Mike Miller, mayor of Flowery Branch and vice chairman of the Policy Committee, in response proceeded to tongue-lash Mr. Stradley in audible tones for all present to hear, saying he had overstepped his authority, accusing him of trying to ram things down their throats, and said if Mr. Stradley did not resign from the CAC, he (Miller) would ask Commissioner Billy Powell, who appointed Mr. Stradley to the CAC, to remove him.
