Councilman Richard Steinberg who had been charged and was to have a hearing before the Stockbridge City Council that would likely lead to his removal has resigned. He announced his resignation at the end of the City Council Meeting of October 13, 2014. In the written resignation he said it would become effective at 8:45am on October 14th. That is 15 minutes before the hearing to remove him from office was to take place. Apparently, he felt that it would be better for all concerned if he resigned his seat on the Council. Mr. Steinberg ran on the platform that he was the voice of the people. He hasn’t been that voice since his swearing ceremony in January 2012. He and the council seated that year had the former mayor removed from office during a long hearing into his case and he was removed from office in December 2012. Councilman Steinberg had been caught giving information to the former DDA leadership of information that was in executive session on a court proceeding between the city and the DDA. The Henry Daily Herald reported on the matter as they found the emails between Steinberg and J.T. Williams.
