Taylor pleaded not guilty to those charges on Monday.
Ross Cavitt, Cobb County communications director, released a statement, saying:
“We respect the Governor’s resolution. Since the Clerk of Superior Court is a constitutional officer and not under the authority of the Board of Commissioners, we will not be commenting further. Our focus remains on ensuring that county services continue without interruption.”
