Van Johnson, Savannah city council member and employee of Chatham county is listed at the National Forum of BLACK Public Administrator (NFBPA) site under nationwide council of presidents (COP) for Savannah METRO. In the contact information, Johnson lists his Chatham county public service email address that is supposed to be used for Chatham county business as a way to contact him concerning NFBPA business.
The big question is this: WHY is this email address being used in this way? Why should the taxpayers pay for Johnson to receive emails from NFBPA while working on Chatham county time?
Johnson also gives a U.S.Postal address for City Council, as a way for NFBPA members to contact him concerning NFBPA business, and this is on the City's dime as well.
