Posey says he would
also like to see Council
members elected by
district in the future. “It
would help serve the
people a lot better,” he
says, stating that at large
Council members tend to
underrepresent certain
areas of the city.
Jackson, 27, has lived
in Perry all his life. He is
employed at the local
Kellwood Company, and
lives at 1102 Lovely Lane.
He has run for a city
office in Perry on four
different occasions. He
ran for mayor as a write
in candidate against
Barbara Calhoun in the
special election earlier
this year. He has run for
Council against Gene
Smith twice, and he was
defeated for the Post 5
position two years ago by
Mayo.
Jackson says he is
“concerned with people
in general, and especially
with the young.” He
wants to serve on Council
because “1 believe the
city can work together in
peace and harmony with
all races, and I will
continue to work toward
this.”
Jackson is a deacon,
Sunday School teacher
and Superintendent of
Sunday School classes at
Old Field Baptist Church
in Perry. He has been
president of the Perry
Civic League, and is
active in “various other
organizations and clubs’’
in Perry. He did not name
those organizations.
Jackson says he
believes both Mayo and
Posey would face “a
conflict of interests’’ on
the Council. He says that,
since Mayo already
works for the federal
government at the post
office, he should not be
“serving another
government.” Jackson
says Mayo’s seat on
Council makes him guilty
of “double-dipping” into
taxpayers’ money.
Jackson says Posey’s
conflict of interests lies in
the fact that he is a
teacher in Warner
Robins, and that he may
not be able to be in Perry
at times when he is
needed.
Jackson also says that
he feels the incumbent
candidate does not listen
to the citizens. He uses as
an exampel the proposed
Perimeter Road
rezoning, which Mayo
voted in favor of.
Jackson says, however,
that he is “not against
shopping centers” in
Perry. “1 feel like the
community does need
them to provide more
jobs, save energy and
help the economy by
having more money
circulating in town,” he
says.
Jackson says he does
not recognizee any
particular needs in the
city. “I just want to work
with the Council and the
Mayor for the betterment
of Perry,” he says.
In the other City
Council races, Draper
Watson is unopposed for
the Post 4 seat, and in
cumbent Ralph Gentry is
unopposed for the Post 6
seat.
Watson, of 1808 Ross
Street, is a funeral
director at Watson - Hunt
Funeral Home in Perry.
Gentry, of 1405 Cam
bridge Road, is a USDA
research entymologist in
Byron.
Mayoral incumbent
Barbara Calhoun is
unopposed for her
position as mayor. She
lives at 1402 Cater Circle,
and is retired from
Robins Air Force Base.

director Thomas J.
McGreevy; GBI Internal
Affairs Division inspector
William N. Darsey:
former special agent M.
Angelynn Miller, who
was employed with the
GBI from 1978 until
February 1980, and
former special agent
Robert F. Warner, who
was employed with the
GBI from 1978 until
October 1980.
Ponder, McGreevy and
Darsey are employed at
the GBI office in Atlanta.
The suit lists Miss
Miller's address as Apt.
6, Pinecastle Apart
ments, Kings Chapel
Road, Perry, and War
ner’s address as 119 South
Amanda Drive, Warner
Robins. Both were em
ployed in at the Perry
GBI office.
Hooks is seeking $1
million for compensatory
damages and $1 million
for exemplary damages
plus his attorney’s fees
and costs of the lawsuit.
Hooks was employed as
an agent with the GBI for
10 years, and in 1978 he
was appointed special
agent in charge of the
Perry office.
The lawsuit alleges that
Warner “maliciously and
wrongfully’’ accused
Hooks of directing him to
file a false report about
the lost walkie-talkie.
According to the suit, in
early October 1980
McGreevy and Ponder
caused an internal in
vestigation of Hooks
concerning the reports.

The investigation was
conducted by Darsey,
who, according to the
suit, “on numerous prior
occasions stated that he
intended to see that
plaintiff (Hooks) was
discharged from his
employment with the
GBI.”
The suit said, “Darsey
performed the in
vestigation in an ar
bitrary, capricious and
biased manner, and the
sole purpose of said in
vestigation was to insure
that findings were
submitted to Ponder
which would support
(Hook’s) dismissal from
the GBI."
The suit also charges
that Ponder, McGreevy
and the GBI wrongfully
charged that Hooks
altered certain GBI
reports in 1979 by
replacing the in
vestigating agent’s name
with that of another
agent.
