Remember, it wasn't but a few short months ago that Jim, Sandy and their other NO City buddies were running around the area preaching their "Politics 101" rhetoric.
Oh, how the times have changed................or have they ?

A previous post here on the Patch is a little reminder of those days we all remember from the very recent past.

I agree the Cancer line used that way amounts to a lie.

But then so does Sandy Murray's lines. The latest exposed lie is her lie about J. Max's gun that was stolen. He had the serial #, but of course it was at his house. He phoned it in and the gun was later recovered. Add that to her lies about J. Max and the Johnson Ferry flood plain and her sill J. Max tip line and the doctored pictures of J. Max on her mailouts. Wow she makes these District 2 people look like boy scouts.

Wow Thomas are you one of those sending false tip to Sandy M's shady tip line? You must live next door or something. The all caps gives your temper away. Maybe because the gun was stolen he is responsible for the crime as well. As a matter of fact all theft and crime is the fault of the victim. Your tip doesn't pan out buddy.

I guess this was inevitable.

As soon as the 'approved candidates' realized they would face REAL opposition, they just started to make stuff up.

Another layer of government and nothing is really different.

Show me the report.
J Max's irresponsibility endangered our community.

What happened to our community?

Zanny Murray keeps touting her success as a small business owner. I've tried unsuccessfully to locate her business dba Computer Essentials. There is a computer repair shop in Madison Georgia with that name, but I can't locate anything else. Even her financial disclosure fails to list the business. Is this just another in a long list of fabrications?

OK, I am a little confused . . . So Mr. Russell has forgotten his Brookhaven Yes days? Has he forgotten Shannon Cameron? Chris Elsevier?

Start Brookhaven Right, Inc.: “The committee chairperson is listed as Shannon Cameron, who served as a board member for Brookhaven YES and is currently the vice president of the Nancy Creek Heights Neighborhood Network. SBR's treasurer is Christopher Elsevier, who served as treasurer for Brookhaven YES and is an executive officer of The Piedmont Bank.”

And Mr. Russell actually expects us to believe the following statement?

Mr. Russell: “This is a ridiculous conspiracy theory from a desperate candidate," said Mitchell. “I have absolutely nothing to do with the Start Brookhaven Right group. The first I heard of them is when I got mail from them."

Clearly, it is not about the taxpaying citizens of the new city of Brookhaven, it is all about the desperate Mr. Russell! Hey! Cast your vote for Mr. Russell and we will get what we deserve!

Please pass the yellow mustard!

Wow-- like saying Jim Eyre has not misrepresented himself at Dekalb when stopping three (3) neighbors from installing a pool in their yards--but leading Dekalb to believe he was representing the Ashford Park Association.

Wonder if he will represent Brookhaven as a Council Member--or his own personal opinions? Hmmmmm...........

All this talk is like saying Jim is easy to work with. LOL. I pity the other three Council members who will find out quickly how difficult he will be.

Jim wants to see Sandy Murray get elected (which says alot in and of itself), but it brings up the question that Mr. Eyre has made no secret that he detests another Mayoral candidate--who just may win.

Nice start.....

The Movers & Shakers of Brookhaven have aligned to support Zanny Murray: Cousins = $4,500, Imlay = $4,500 and the Wannabees Ehlert, Cobb, Benton. Is the Capital City Club looking to expand and in need of a friend to help with zoning? Zanny has beaten J Max and his measly $500 contribution from a four small companies. Zanny = bought and paid for by Brookhaven elite.

When did Murray get those contributions, A Resident? I checked last week and did not see the Cousins and Imlay ones. That is curious. What would those two contributors possibly want to PAY to PLAY for?

Sounds corrupt to me.

I mean, Cousins could be looking for approval for another development in the Brookhaven footprint--or wants to grease the wheels for any problems with the new City and their already build developments.

Could you provide a link to that info, A Resident?

Tim, where have YOU been all week? lol You need a maid, because you have LOTS of housekeeping to do!!

I don't so much blame Tim as I do the high ups who keep snatching our editors out from under us every three months. Where are our hall monitors when we need them?

What a piece of work. Zanny gets her money from the elite of Brookhaven and Jim Eyer gets his money from real estate attorneys and agents. "Pay for access" or something more sinister. Tom & Ann Cousins and John & Mary Ellen Imlay should be embarrassed that there money is being used to buy such sleazy campaign material. Did Jody Cobb and Carolyn Benton design the material, there contributions were 'in kind'. Maybe J Max should take Politic 101, he only received $500 per contribution Zanny got $5,000 per family.

If this first election is any indication of the way the new city is going to run, then we are all in deep s**t. This kind of negative campaigning ranks right up there with Elaine Boyer and Vernon Jones.

How can anyone honestly say becoming a city does not give us another layer of government? If it doesn't, then why in the world are we being subjected to all this?

You are right to question Ms. Murray's claims about her business experience. I have previously addressed this in another thread on this forum. See my remarks at the bottom of this post.

In addition to that earlier response, you may also find the information at the following web sites to be interesting:

Regarding Sandy Murray and her business experience: Briefly being a franchisee for a kids' art instruction company called Abrakadoodle does not qualify Ms. Murray to run a (potentially) 30 million dollar city. Being an owner of a computer instruction company (Computer Essentials / Business Computer Essentials) in the early 1980's certainly doesn't add much to her track record. Being a Kaplan SAT tutor certainly doesn't do much for her skillset to be the first mayor of the city. We deserve better!

As with so much of her materiel, Zanny Murray fabricates statements. She may have been a small business owner, but there is no proof it was successful. Zanny also states she is the 'only' small business owner. It seems to me that J Max Davis has a law firm with employees and is currently in business. Maybe a small item, but Zanny's strategy seems to be 'ignore the facts and say anything over and over again"

As an outside observer... it is hilarious to see that the "Start Brookhaven Right" folks can't even interpret Mr. Eyre's metaphor "right"! It should clear to anyone who has taken high school english that "Brookhaven Cityhood" is the "Bandaid"... over the "cancer" that is Dekalb County government mismanagement.

Yes this is obvious, which leads me to my point... whoever is behind this group is obviously not that intelligent, or is simply dishonest (No surpise given the former "brookhaven yessers" in the group). Therefore, I would suggest to those who get to vote, to cast their vote for whomever is not this group's preferred candidate.
