ALBANY — If the people of Dougherty County are inclined to believe County Commission Chairman Lorenzo Heard, County Administrator Michael McCoy was fired by four members of the board because the county has been losing population steadily for the last 20 years and McCoy has not brought a major manufacturer to the county during his time in office.
Seeing as those are not exactly duties outlined in the county administrator’s job description, there are a growing number of skeptical southwest Georgians who think the reason for McCoy’s dismissal lies elsewhere and runs much deeper.
