Chickamauga manager places campaign signs on city time

CHICKAMAUGA, GA (Times Free Press) -- A photo has surfaced on Facebook showing Chickamauga, Ga., City Manager John Culpepper placing campaign signs for Walker County Commissioner Bebe Heiskell on the lawn of the city-owned Gordon-Lee Mansion on Oct. 2 before a Heiskell fundraiser there.

The Facebook page, which is highly critical of Heiskell and other incumbent Walker County elected officials, questions the legality of Culpepper's action -- which he fully admits doing.

"Guilty as charged. I'm not going to deny it," Culpepper said Wednesday. "I was on the job, I was in a city truck, I was on city time."
