Beaudreau says claims in call are “completely false.”
On July 10, an unknown number of voters in Gwinnett County District 3 received an anonymous call urging them to “Vote no on Beaudreau.” In the recorded message, a female voice said it is time for honest leadership on the county commission and accused current District 3 county commissioner Mike Beaudreau of voting to spend more than $1 million “to subsidize and study expanding the county airport.” The caller claimed the county spent “hundreds of thousands of dollars” in legal fees and staff time on the issue. “Worst of all,” the message continued, “Beaudreau wasted our money during a time we needed it most to pay for police and basic services.” The anonymous caller further criticized Beaudreau for the county trash plan. “We need straight …
