CANTON, Ga. — A Cherokee County Commissioner doesn’t plan to resign after he acknowledged fudging his military and education background.
Speaking after a meeting Tuesday night, Commissioner Derek Good said his “omission” has nothing to do with his role as commissioner.
But the Cherokee Coalition for Responsible Growth feels otherwise. The citizen’s group has gotten signatures on a petition calling for Good’s resignation.
In June, Good ended his campaign for a third term after his claims of service as an Army Ranger and an earned bachelor’s degree were challenged by the Cherokee Ledger News. He later acknowledged he did not serve as a Ranger and lied about a business degree from the University of Maryland.
He has said he plans to stay until his term ends in December because he doesn't want to leave the district without representation.
