COBB COUNTY, GA — Governor Brian Kemp has suspended a superior court clerk in Cobb County until the criminal case against her case is resolved.

Cobb County Superior Court Clerk Connie Taylor was suspended from her post after she was indicted last month on charges of record destruction and violating her oath of office.

The indictment accuses her of asking an employee to delete both records about passport revenue and an email about them.

State law allows superior court clerks to keep the $35 processing fee when someone applies for a passport, but Taylor is accused of also keeping money for an expedited shipping fee that’s supposed to go to the county.

She has pleaded not guilty.

In Friday’s executive order, Gov. Kemp cited a review panel’s recommendation, which found that the indictment against Taylor “adversely affects the administration of her office.”
