Tempers flared during the Stockbridge City Council meeting earlier this week, regarding the council adopting a new organizational chart, and approving a retroactive salary increase.
Councilmembers Alphonso Thomas and Mark Alacon found themselves in a heated exchange when discussing an ordinance to adopt a new organizational chart for the city. Thomas told the council he had a couple of concerns, one of which was about salary increases. The other was about the new organizational chart.
