What the record shows ·
Atlanta's code shows all three became law while she was mayor: a transparency officer in September 2018, credit card rules banning personal use in January 2019, and an independent Office of the Inspector General in February 2020. The charter has the mayor approve or veto each law, and her office said she signed the inspector general law.
Limit: Council members sponsored all three laws. Her January 2020 order says the inspector general law was introduced in coordination with her administration, and city releases say she proposed the transparency law and signed the inspector general law.
