- Opponents to a new city of East Cobb claimed that the East Cobb Cityhood Committee failed to file a campaign contribution disclosure report due May 9, said an attorney with Georgia's campaign finance oversight body. Opponents allege that the omission violates state ethics laws. The East Cobb Cityhood Committee stated that their 501(c)(4) status means it is not required to file the disclosure. (MDJOnline.com)
