Clayton County’s top finance official abruptly fired

In a 3-2 vote, Bivens, who had been Clayton’s CFO for nine years and who whose contract was up for renewal Tuesday, was terminated by the Clayton Commission and ordered to have her belongings removed from her office by Thursday.

When Commissioner Demont Davis, who voted against termination, asked why Bivins was being fired, the councilmembers who favored her dismissal — Felicia Franklin, Alieka Anderson and Gail Hambrick — did not respond.
