More Details On The Allegations Against South Fulton’s Mayor Kobi

According to Carter, city policy asserts that the mayor cannot spend more than $10,000 a month on his city credit card. Well, last year, it was discovered that the mayor allegedly spent just $1,000 on a trip to Paris. Furthermore, the mayor reportedly brought another staff member along for the travel — which Carter says is also against city policy.

In September 2024, Mayor Kobi allegedly spent over $9,800, followed by over $13,000 in additional travel plans the following month. All of this has since accumulated into a tense city council meeting earlier this month.

There, members apparently hoped for the mayor to take accountability for his alleged actions. However, Mayor Kobi shared that the allegations against him appear to be nothing more than an all-Black council “tearing each other down.”

Additionally, the mayor called the meeting a demonstration of “political posturing.” However, fellow council member and commissioner of South Fulton, Helen Willis, made sure the mayor knew he was not a “victim” of any posturing.
