Tim Lee, who led the charge to spend lots of public money on the Atlanta Braves’ move to the burbs, says he’s getting plenty of interest from employers who might want to hire him.
The Cobb County commission chairman leaves office at the end of the year after losing his re-election bid in the Republican primary runoff. He had become a polarizing figure in how the Braves deal was handled.
Come Jan. 2, "I have to sell my ability to make deals happen," Lee said.
People have talked to him about working for them in business development or becoming a consultant to help other counties, he said. For now, Lee said, he doesn’t plan to do any work tied to Cobb but would “love to stay in the public sector.”
What are the chances he’ll run for elected office ever again?
“Zero,” he said.
