silly rabbit polls are for the certain no foundations and their diverse staff of family and friends.

Best Patch Comment Ever Award, "Gift that keeps on Giving Category"

NoCityEver! 1:36 pm on Sunday, June 3, 2012

"Our strategy is working brilliantly! Thank you to the No City leadership in developing the perfect strategy! You Brookhaven Yes folks are falling right into the rabbit hole. We have successfully painted you as the racists and homophobes as you rant about South Dekalb and it enables us to keep the Latinos in Buford Highway, the proletariat in Ashford Park and the Brookhaven wannabes in Silver Lake far away from our brand and association with a name that is reserved for only the folks who live within a 1/2 mile radius of the Capital City Club. You all are now perceived as the racists not us! Love it when a good plan comes together!"

The new city of Brookhaven does not take over the Fire Department. That stays with Dekalb County. So does trash collection.

Not without some magic funding source.
Vote smart, VOTE NO!

Northlake, really?

And Dekalb is such a fine example of prudent leadership, stewardship of tax dollars, ethics; bloated inefficient friends and family payrolls with raises every year, benefits out the wazoo: unlimited sick and vacation, 12 paid government holidays, traditional pension, 457k, and so so much more.

Brookhaven offers the ability to keep a measly 12 percent of your tax dollars in the community where it was generated, for fixing and paving roads, parks, and prudent land use decisions decide by the community rather than developer contributions to BOC members who do not live in the community nor could gave a darn about it.

http://www.northfulton.com/Articles-TOP-STORIES-c-2012-07-13-194132.114126-sub-Fulton-taxpayers-get-good-news-No-tax-hike.html

http://www.ajc.com/news/dekalb/how-dekalb-wound-up-1016946.html

Nevertheless, the 5 percent tax increase proposed was a small one compared to the tax hikes Fulton's sister counties of Cobb, DeKalb and Gwinnett have already initiated to compensate for a shrinking tax digest. Those counties have raised their millage rate from between 16 percent and 26 percent.

Meanwhile, Fulton has not raised taxes for 20 years, and property taxes produce 80 percent of General Fund revenue. The Fulton tax digest has shrunk by 15 percent. Fulton's homestead exemption of $30,000 is three times that of other metro counties.

And this ridiculous plan for more government is a SPECTACULARLY BAD IDEA.

No MEANS NO!

its a replacement of a govt that does not work, at all. Dekalb needs to downsize accordingly. the number of people they fire should represent the number of people at the new city. no new govt, just out with the old, tired, non working, and in with the new local community based once! GO CITY, its our only hope.

not much
So I guess that leaves guys like you hope-less.

Look carefully amongst those weeds and bushes.
Stop and to take a moment to listen as the wind strums them.
The sound you will here is definitely NO!

So robbing Employees of their pensions is the latest yesser gimmick?

Nope keeping them prudent fair and economically viable is. Or Deadkab can go bankrupt

not much,

Read up on ERISA and get back to me.
Pensions are not something left up to the arrogantly-self-entitled to control.

funny! and then i no longer have to read this rag!

I want to know who the heck is hamburger

mike jacobs claim that our 'taxes would be reduced'.

Now that one is a real knee slapper!!

Gotta love seeing Ms Mesh out on Ashford Dunwoody at 6:30am in her bathrobe and NO CITY signs....gotta love that representation if you are in the NO camp.

Opposed City Yes,

What about the tax reality?
Doesn't it disturb you folks even a little tiny bit that this whole fool's errand was generated from a flat out lie?

2, 5, 10 years down the line who do you think will have a lower property tax burden, unincorporated DeKalb citizens or Brookhaven citizens? The answer is easy because only one of these will have a property tax cap law on the books (Brookhaven).

One can hope that the security cameras would have caught the pathetic miscreant who would be so overtly criminal and bring them quickly to justice.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2179952/posts

Probably self induced by a no loser, after the poor outcome at the meeting, as in who would EVER believe Housewife Ms. Cobb and Business man: Konas. Double pun intended!

Professor you still have not responded. Did you see someone vandalize a car at Oglethorpe? Or was this just another unsubstantiated remark??

And if you do vote NO, Ms.Mesh will put in that long overdue strip club in the old Blockbuster!

Opposed City Yes Genius,

Quick, tell me what the largest revenue generator in the entire opposed city area is?

Hint, it is in the imaginary '4th District' and I hope there is one just like it in the Dun-Jilted area very soon!

Stop the lies, stop supporting strip clubs, no code enforcement, illegal bars and scotch houses...this is what the no people love so much. no regulations. well we live in a city, and we need code enforcement and zoning standards with teeth, no more of Dekalb strip clubs on every corner, ugh! We can become a city like hilton head, or be more like myrtle beach...the now want a county fair on every corner. i want calls developments with strict development guidelines...

not much
Hilton Head?
Really?
The last bastion of the confederacy is what your view of shangri-la mirrors?
I guess my suspicions are confirmed.

Typical white liberal southern racist remark, thanks Eddie.

not much,

I guess the truth stings.
I hope it stings quite harshly!

CC, you are correct, the debate is over with. Folks have made up their minds. Both the Cross Keys Mayor Love Fest and Oglethorpe Forum revealed that we continue to have no clue just what we will end up with.

The Cross Keys Mayor Love Fest meeting painted a glorious picture of tranquility yet avoided the trials and tribulations of small cityhood citizens must endure at the hands of a select few in their respective cities. Then there is the insanity perpetuated that the creation of a city is not another layer of government. Anyone remember what Mr. Jim (Oglethorpe) stated was the percentage of tax money the new city will spend on creating and maintaining a new city?

The Oglethorpe Forum turned into a Brookhaven Yes pep rally. Again, a beautiful picture was painted, yet there was no canvas to place it upon. This entire process has been rushed and only a select few know just what we will end up with.

J. Max Davis says that there are about forty folks making up formative committees planning for their new city. I have no clue what they have planned for us. Property values are not dependant on a “brand” or “city”, as the economy changes, so will value.

As for political party lines, talk about messed up. Are you blind to the political flip-flops in recent years? Conservatively speaking, I am for less government. And, which political party stands for that?

Time to start that special hamburger morning lump charcoal!

CC - they no people with their neon signs on ptree road, will stop at nothing to suppress the vote. Lies, intimidation, tax scare tactics, it really is a sad day....i for one cannot wait to french connection united kingdom all of them on August 1.

Boy, won't you be a sad little feller on August 1!!

There is no plan, funding or consideration for a Fire Department.
Of course, a start up, little teeny tiny fire department would be another foolish expansion of this fools errand.

wow - sounds like someone needs to move to Montana with the other seperatists....scary!

City? AreYouNuts?
Ain't it a shame when people move in and do their best to replicate wherever it was they were previously chased away from?

It certainly is not a shame for residents (be they new to the area or not) attempt to improve quality of life in their neighborhoods, which Brookhaven cityhood will in my mind certainly do.

Let's hope you are correct about Larry D!
Otherwise, I think enough people have seen the light to be sure that No MEANS NO!

We know we have enough BAD govt already!

If Brookhaven replaces 12% of the bureacracy that DeKalb currently provides with a more fiscally conservative, more local representation we be much, much better off.

Dean,
Judging by the crew who has jumped forward to 'lead' our Opposed City, you might want to include the line 'when bullfrogs grow wings' to the part about 'replaces the 12% bureacracy'.

Yep Dekalb, so so prudent and cost effective and fiscally conservative and responsible, and hot family and friends employee factory, pensions paid leave sick leave and holidays out the wazoo, how many directors deputy directors and assistant directors have they, and how many have or may go to jail for corruption. Go ahead everyone: GOOGLE Dekalb County GA Corruption! Truth hurts!

http://www.asla.org/uploadedFiles/CMS/Meetings_and_Events/2011_Annual_Meeting_Handouts/TUE-A1%20Transect%20Planning_Reconciling%20Environmentalism%20and%20Urbanism.pdf

not much,
Anything that labels itself 'conservative' has stated reason enough to be put asunder.

Thx, but I am neither obsese nor big nor a guy! I don't eat hamburgers or read no lies posted by foundations and corporations and strip club yahoos...thanks for reading my posts and validating my patch existence, only a few more days to get out the real Dekalb and the real NO losers! Muchas Gracias y por favor tambien!

XO, sure you have a major obesity issue, be careful heart disease is leading cause of death, and I hear those who lie a lot go earlier and takes them longer to pass on!

The obnoxious NO City sponsered electronic billboard in the Brookhaven area operated by Clear Channel Corp. between the U-haul and Extended Stay Suites on Peachtree Road. In addition to being a complete eyesore, it is an incredible nuisance that runs 24 hours per day....

What an ludicrous line of "logic." As though no one should read, study, or question the information they have until ALL the information is on the table.

Yes, I can question anything I know and at the time I know it. When the other side makes their disclosure, I will weigh it against what I know now.

Or, Monty, we can all pinky-promise each other that we will not give any thought to the issue until we all have the totality of the information, and agree to start thinking about it simultaneously. It wouldn't be fair for some information to have more time to be digested than other information.

Reasonable quote? You're killing me! LOL

I think the colors are pretty!

You would. Try living next door or having a night vision impairment, this is not VEGAS! This is complete tacky by complete tacky people. I wear tan suits! ugh...

10000x true!

Vote YES if you want to continue dealing with Dekalb AND deal with an additional layer of government that will be run by God-knows what kind of HOA-like dictator wannabes.

If you think that by creating a new city government, you will no longer be dealing with Dekalb County, you are a fool.

I vow that on Aug 1, I will contact the Dekalb Sanitation Department to let them know there is a dead assertion impeding traffic on Peachtree Road.

Sue - You don't know how wrong you are. The YES initiative will get 60% of the vote.

"...I vow that on Aug 1, I will contact the Dekalb Sanitation Department to let them know there is a dead assertion impeding traffic on Peachtree Road. ..."

I don't agree with you, but that is one funny and clever line, neighbor!!!

Brook,
Just between us girls, Mary you have deliberately been left out of the discussion because we all know you are really L Max Lehman, the boys here are suffering from "small man" syndrome and obviously have nothing better to do with their miserable little lives.

Ladies:

"Remember, honey, on your wedding day it's OK to say yes."

However, on July 31, 2012, you are best off saying “NO”.

Please pass the yellow mustard!

I took my 2 youngest ones over to Ashford Park today at about 2:30. As my son was playing in the middle of Little Tykes township of misfit toys, he was stung by a Yellow Jacket. He was fine but another mom out there who was very quick to lend a hand, asked me if I was there for the Brookhaven Yes event. I told her no and she said me either. She and I decided we would leave after a while and we struck up a conversation. Then we were approached by one of the Brookhaven Yes Board members (at least he said he was) and he started talking to us about how Dekalb has done a crappy job on parks. I lit into him (much to his chagrin) that if the parks were so crappy the why were they having the SECOND event at a Dekalb County Park? Also - it didn't even register with this silly - drunken man on the Brookhaven Yes cocktail - that Murphey Candler Park and Ashford Park are 2 stellar DEKALB COUNTY PARKS. Yes they both take alot of neighborhood involvement, and I have spent hours and hours at both, and the people have a higher sense of pride and like it more because some of the things they want are specific to them. I also asked this man about his racist mailer that I received Friday and his response was that Brookhaven Yes and Brookhaven Ballot Committee aren't connected. I told him that was a lie, since they were ALL photographed together with the Governor and the photo is on Rep. Jacobs website.
http://www.meetmikejacobs.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/brookhaven-bill-signing.jpg
Gross.

Ms. Amanda, Thanks for posting this picture. A few folks, left to right, are:

- Sen. Millar.

- Megan Myers Hanson – grey suit (Chairperson, Brookhaven Ballot Committee, Brookhaven Yes Lobbyist, voice of Brookhaven Yes robo calls).

- Don Bolia – barely visible to right of MMH (Brookhaven Yes Board Member, Brookhaven Yes Lobbyist).

- Rep. Taylor – right of Mr. Bolia, behind J. Max Davis, with glasses.

I know that J. Patrick Hoban (Trancalli Motors) is in the picture, which one is he?

Special hamburgers with their basic condiments allow their premium, savory flavor to mesmerize your taste buds!

Bad governance is colorblind. Smearing the city message as racist is part of the despicable NOCity campaign of personal attacks and FUD.

Mr. Dean, I will not say that the mailer on Friday was racist, but I will ask what it had to do with the proposed city of Brookhaven? What was its purpose and what was it meant to make voters think?

Someone screwed up BIGTIME!

Cheerwine?

Hamburger, your many aliases amount to you just having conversations with yourself, I understand why your sanity is failing, along with your NOCity DeKalb Democrat message of personal attacks and attempts to scare honest Brookhaven residents with your miserable FUD

Dean,
I am not in any campaign. Thank you very much. Just want to be left alone. But if I were, I'd create my own campaign of cigar loving women. Silly boy. PS, what is it with you and this FUD word? Why do you care about Female Urinary Devices? Here is a quick video for you to review and please leave my Pee Pee business to me. http://youtu.be/vU_SBIltepY

Mr. Dean, I have extremely strong beliefs about this new city, however, I just post as myself. I do not have “forum multiple personality disorder”.

Now, back to my original question:

What did the mailer received by folks on 07/20/2012 have to do with the proposed city of Brookhaven? What was its purpose and what was it meant to make voters think?

Focus like a laser and succinctly provide a concise answer to this question that many folks in receipt of this mailer are asking. Really, folks are very confused regarding the intent!

Special hamburger?

Mr. Dean? FUD? Female Urinary Devices? Well . . . We all have our specialty!

Mr. HamBurger is SPEACHLESS!

City Yes, Ms. Amanda should have known better . . . Although it is a public park, Brookhaven Yes was in command and control . . .

Please pass the yellow mustard!

The silent thoughts of Resident 30319:

However, I am perfectly happy to give businesses that do business with Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Johns Creek, and Peachtree Corners a break because they are funding Brookhaven Ballot Committee and Brookhaven Yes. By hook or crook I am all in for what I have to do to get me my new city!

===

Whew! If Rep. Mike Jacobs new city passes, looks like city council meetings are going to be exceptionally fun!

Please spin that Lazy Susan around! I need to dress my special hamburgers!

Dean,
Private citizens contributing to a cause is much different than corporations, state lobbyists, sitting city attorneys, city finance directors, vying for contracts, jobs within the administration - like the Brookhaven Yes financial supporters are. Very sleezy these friends of yours. Goof ball. I'm going outside to enjoy a nice cigar. If you care to comment, I'll be back to beat you down again soon. Also - while I'm gone, there are 5 Cityhood campaigns for you to calculate their spending: BrookhavenYes, C$4ND, Brookhaven Ballot Committee, Georgia Citizens for Responsible Government and State Rep Mike Jacobs. Go add it all up Deany Baby.

And bought some interesting talent along the 'right path,' eh?

Most folks turning into this blog would be turned off by the negativity and rancor displayed, save for a few frequent posters. At the end, any semblance of civil discussion usually turns into a discussion melee ranging in content quality from the sublime to the absurd. How we have advanced; the Blog-O-Sphere. Whatevs.

I remain utterly convinced that nasty politics begets good policy. Cityhood is distilled from a hotbed of opinion; voters react to the extreme.

Cityhood offers local focus. The concept is not new and is completely feasible.

VOTE YES ON TUESDAY JULY 31 for Brookhaven

One last comment before I go burn one:
City Yes: I am in no "war". I'm defending my home and property from an invasion of idiots, that's all. It's like someone lifted the carpet and you roaches scurried out.
PS - there will be no special interest city of Brookhaven. It will fail and your racist and desperate junk mailing buddies know it.

Ms. Amanda, I am not certain where the NO folks are going to be celebrating their victory. Let me know if you find out, I may have a ten year old Cuban to share with you . . .

However, if cityhood passes, is it true that the enjoyment of cigars will be banned on all public and private property in the footprint of this new city? Imagine, the Brookhaven cigar police monitoring your home?

Nothing more special than an occasional cigar after a special hamburger!

Ham,
I am unsure what the plans are for any "celebration". I think that people would be just fine with waking up August 1st knowing they were not overtaken by the forces of a special interest group of corporations, state lobbyists, sitting city attorneys (and asst city attorneys), city finance directors, vying for contracts and jobs within the administration - like the Brookhaven Yes financial supporters are. That would suffice for me. Then we can get right down to seeing all of these clowns at the grocery stores, parks, and other public places and tell them just how much we appreciate their effing up our communities to the point that neighbors and friends are no longer. For that, they will NEVER be forgiven.

Ms. Amanda, agreed, ultimately, that would be the best case scenario here at the Mr. HamBurger homestead. Best to you!

Special hamburger anyone?

Tim Darnell,
Please review this City Yes Post:
City Yes
10:05 pm on Friday, July 20, 2012
I unfortunately believe Mr. Darnell is in the pocket of the No/County folks. And that is disappointing.

PS: I just had a great Cohiba Behike. Nice smoke.

City Yes, just because you do not like certain comments does not mean they are offensive. If this new city passes, city council meetings should be a real treat!

And, why are you treating Mr. Tim like he is your personal servant? Man! Me generation folks and government are not a good mix!

Please pass the yellow mustard!

Phil,
The good folks of Ashford Park like our park and respectfully decline your attendance and forcing yourself to enjoy your time here.

Mr. Phil, Ms. Amanda and I find ourselves on the same side in this new cityhood issue created by Rep. Mike Jacobs. It is no different than a group of folks finding solidarity at Ashford Park today sharing their desire for a new city.

Being a loose NO confederation, although many times we find ourselves politically divergent, this new city issue has brought us together. We are collectively reacting to Rep. Mike Jacobs’s miss-representation of our collective desires in this new city footprint. Clearly, we are not as well organized as the YES folks are, look at all the new city companies they are aligned with, but then we have not had a political leader, Rep. Mike Jacobs organizing and planning for the past four or five years for a new city.

And, there is nothing better than a fine cigar after an exceptional special meal . . .

Mr. Dean elected not to answer my question, maybe you can?

What did the mailer received by folks on 07/20/2012 have to do with the proposed city of Brookhaven? What was its purpose and what was it meant to make voters think?

Mr. Phil, the Brookhaven Yes crowd could have held their event at Silver Lake, both Hampton Hall and Brittany have private clubs and Brookhaven Yes board members that could have arranged this. However, they did not. They want you to vote for their new city, but they will not use their facilities to entertain you!

Put a canoe on Silver Lake and see what happens to you!

However, Historic Brookhaven has a fireworks show that is available to all for view.

Mr. Phil, many folks on both sides of the isle found this mailer offensive and most importantly, uninformative and having absolutely nothing to do with cityhood. Best of luck, the Brookhaven area does have some intelligent voters, regardless of their socio-economic background . . . That crack team of lobbyist have done a good job of insulting them.

Ms. Megan Myers Hanson, your lobbyist, appreciates the learning experience.

I'll leave you with this apropos scripture from Revelation:

"We is all gonna die, you crazy mofos!"

Carl, I understand the point you are making, but to be fair, shouldn't you factor in the ground meat constant? You give great cranium, but you may be a bit too focused.

Brook,
Yes. I sometimes lose my audience as it is tough to dumb down my superior intellect for the common folk. I shall try another angle: The polysaccharides and oligosaccharides found in these foods might otherwise pass through the small intestine unaffected. Once in the large intestine, those sugars may be worked on by intestinal flora, fermenting to produce the gases that cause discomfort.
Please remember, while I do try to simplify, it is oft times difficult. For you see, I am a scientist and a genius. Notice my enormous cranium.

I love intestinal flora! It is so pretty!

Honestly, y'all deserve each other.

Mr. Hank, what did you think about the highly emotional Brookhaven Yes mailer today? The one impugning the good name of Mr. Cousin’s and the Imlay’s? The mailer dragging President Obama and Vernon Jones into this cityhood issue?

How stupid do the Brookhaven yes folks think we are? Have you seen the ballot committee information for the two Brookhaven Yes ballot committees? How do you feel about being bought by businesses with interests in Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Johns Creek, and Peachtree Corners just jumping at the chance for another customer?

Please pass the thin sliced onions and pickles!

That Obama/Ellis flyer is from the Brookhaven Ballot Committee not the Brookhaven Yes committee.

And just how does stating a facct that they were large contributors to President Obama, Vernon Jones and the No City impugn them?

Your flyer today is full of even more misleading information than the last one. Based on the CVI in its first year Brookhaven can have a surplus and still stay below its millage cap.

Mr. Eric, this mailer has nothing to do with the new city. What was its purpose? It would be like me pointing out that you worked for Cynthia McKinney.

Regarding Brookhaven Ballot Committee and Brookhaven Yes, the key players war pictured in the picture of Governor Deal signing HB 636. The difference is in name only.

Please pass the yellow mustard!

While I don't agree with the flyer I don't think you can say it has nothing to do with the city. I mean the DeKalb Democratic Machine is pretty heavily entwined with the No City effort as seen by those emails and the prominent people in No City. So while I don't like it, you can't really say its not fair game to point out the Democratic connection.

And I still don't see how that Impugned the integrity of Mr. Cousins or the Imlays.

And, I'm often to the left, though I think I'm more fiscally conservative than the Republican Georgia Legislature and the Democratic DeKalb County government. And I value representatives that have beliefs and speak truth to power (that handle is not my moniker) or who believe Sunshine is the best disinfectant.

And for anyone else reading this I can only urge you to not believe everything you read or see on TV. Its sad how often people are willing to use one piece of a statement to change the obvious or intended meaning of a statement. For example using Dunwoody Mayor Davis' statement that the resident's are not wanted but leaving out the first part of the statement that said the Perimeter Summit would be taken to say we have nothing to fear, things will stay the same if we vote no. Or taking President Obama's statement about you didn't build that and editing out the intro line about highways to make it sound like he was saying business owners didn't build their business when he clearly meant the infrastructure.

BTW Hamburger I notice how you and a couple of your cohorts or aliases like to drop what I'll call "nuggets of information" that you feel are salacious or indicate your ability to know where someone lives.

I myself try to stick to the issues. Yes I am not 100% correct or 100% perfect by any means. But I try to be reasonable, thus I've attacked Yes folks when they've gone off the relevance to this issue range in attacking identifiable No Folks.

As an anonymous poster your antics are hypocritical at best. But there is no gain in going further into that since after all you are anonymous.

Mr.Eric:

“ . . . I think I'm more fiscally conservative than the Republican Georgia Legislature and the Democratic DeKalb County government.”

Son, it has taken you a while, but looks like you are finally growing up.

“ . . . I notice how you and a couple of your cohorts or aliases like to drop what I'll call "nuggets of information" that you feel are salacious or indicate your ability to know where someone lives.”

No worse than others, plus it sometimes puts the conversation in better context. But, that does not work to your favor.

Please pass the yellow mustard!

Eric, personal attacks and attempts to spread FUD are 90% of Hamburger's argument, it is all she has.

"No worse than others"
Perhaps, though like I said i've admonished Yes folks who've attacked identifiable posters. Anonymous monikers obviously are fair game though I do find that back and forth silly.
More importantly two wrongs don't make a right - though I appreciate you calling me son, makes me feel young! Pretty hard to do at my advanced age.

Couldn't agree more. That flyer was full of lies, inappropriate comparisons and distortions. The silliness of this 'Brokehaven' diatribe is over the top. People are not stupid nor like sheep. Residents reading this will roll their eyes and vote YES.

I agree, the No City flyer in addition to its totally off base comparisons is shameful in its misstatements.

They actually cite the CVI study to make the incorrect claim that the city will have a deficit. Based on the CVI and the updated information on the property tax digest reduction combined with the increased HOST proceeds and the increased business license fees identified by Dunwoody's CFO Mr. Pike, the City will have a large surplus.

No city is being disingenuous by using only the Property Tax reduction that the County released. I call on the County to update their release that incorrectly asserted the deficit number.

Eric, we now know that the county and NOCity are purposefully trying to discredit the CVI, it is part of their "politics 101" as Ms. Cobb stated.

“ . . . I wonder how they personally benefited and and what they are now protecting. Assembling homes for large apartment complexes? Seeking favors for zoning?”

Mr. Quinn, that’s funny. Buford Highway is a very long time away from being redeveloped. Plus, the folks associated with any potential Real Estate deals tend to build upper scale projects. You know this, you are just being inflammatory.
