**COLLEGE PARK, Ga. ** - College Park Mayor Bianca Motley Broom has filed a second lawsuit against the city, accusing officials of violating the law during a meeting last month. In the lawsuit, filed in Fulton County Superior Court, Mayor Motley Broom claims the city breached the Georgia Open Meetings Act when the interim city manager ordered police to remove the public from the room before a vote to censure her. City spokesperson Bill Crane addressed the situation in a statement, saying, "At some point, to move forward, turn the page, and govern this community, its elected and appointed officials will need to act with civility towards one another and focus on moving the city forward. " The city argues that no violation occurred, as the meeting was livestreamed, providing public access.
