Stonecrest report alleges possible kickbacks to city officials Author: Doug Richards Updated: 10:44 PM EDT April 14, 2021 STONECREST, Ga. — A scathing report calls for criminal investigations into the city of Stonecrest’s distribution of money from the federal CARES Act. The report outlines alleged conflicts of interest and apparent self-dealing among current and former city officials. The CARES Act was a huge federal program designed to deliver federal dollars to businesses hurting from the pandemic. The city of Stonecrest entered into an agreement with a company formed during the pandemic to disburse some $6 million in federal CARES Act money. But the report says the company was run, in part, by a city officials - a company the report indicates may have made more than a half million dollars off the deal.
