Marietta mayor reprimanded by council for confronting city official

By
MARIETTA - The Marietta City Council has voted 5-2 to reprimand Mayor Bill Dunaway for confronting a city official and using inappropriate language. <br> <br> Dunaway confronted the city&#39;s economic development director, Brian Freese, earlier this year. Officials would not give details about the incident. <br> <br> The reprimand was pushed by 22-year veteran Councilman Philip Goldstein. Anthony Coleman and Jim King voted against the resolution Wednesday. <br> <br> King says he&#39;s seen situations where people who&#39;ve acted more severely than Dunaway had were not reprimanded. <br> <br> Dunaway, who has apologized to Freese, says he was frustrated with the council, but promised not to hold a grudge. Dunaway was elected mayor in 2001.
