Myra ,Thank you ,for in your baseless attack on Williams and Davis, you are not claiming that they owe back taxes on property that their Late father{J MAX DAVIS Sr.passed away in 2002} ,But SANDY and her followers claim,that is until they can 1 come up with another LIE ,or have the lies they are telling be thought true by many voters, who have no time to find out what is honest.

The Brookhaven Patch and Brookhaven Crier are very biased toward Rebecca Williams. Where is fair coverage of all the candidates?

I have tried really hard to find the small business that Sandy either owns or owned. There is no record that I can uncover, and her financial disclosure doesn't list any successful business. How about a little help here folks, or is this just another tale of fiction on her part.

To Residue at 6:51pm --

As I have pointed out numerous times before, Murray has never "owned" a small business. She was a franchisee for a computer software training company back in the 80's and more recently was an Abrakadoodle franchisee. She did not gain any success in either endeavor.

Write in Larry Danese for Mayor. He is already a qualified (by the Secretary of State and the DeKalb registrar) candidate, so your vote WILL count.

There is no surprise that so many knowledgeable and experienced people are endorsing Rebecca. Rebecca Chase Williams deserves your vote. She will have mine.

Are you really ready for her to hand off authority to that guy with the little newspaper and the cheesy show on faux Sunday?
