Yo Genius,
Tim was in charge BEFORE the ill-timed referendum.
IT is a shame that it took so long for so many people to wake up!

Ms. A Resident, how about laying off of Mr. Tim. If you don’t like what is going on here the Patch, post an editorial piece about it. Conversely, you may want to consider avoiding the Patch.

Working within the limited capabilities of the Patch I do not think he has done a bad job and looking back on the past year I do not think he has shown preference one way or another. I do not know his personal thoughts on cityhood, but I am told publically, he made efforts to appear neutral.

Remember, Mr Tim, unlike Dick Williams and Rebecca Chase Williams, has remained very neutral. The William’s? Not at all with the Crier or The Georgia Gang.

Special hamburger anyone?

Mr. Burger,

Dick Williams was not 'neutral'?
Say it ain't so!
It's bad enough that Jim Galloway let his former working relationship with mr. williams cloud his judgement on reporting the TRUTH about the referendum and the shenanigans since, but if mr. williams didn't deserve it, well that's downright journalistic malfeasance ain't it?

Mr. Dallanger, thank you for letting us know that you see no conflict in potential city vendors:

1 – Contributing to the efforts to form a new city.

And

2 – Contributing to candidates and past employees that are candidates for elected office in Brookhaven.

Sir, you are an excellent “pay to play” team player!

Please pass the yellow mustard!

Bill,
I have those numbers.
I don't want to try to attach it here, but if you don't have my email, call the shop on Monday.

Bill Dist. 4 has Buford Highway,many people on Buford are not voters,,that just might be A reason for the low number.

Mr. Patrick, and this is by design. As with fragmentation of troublesome voting groups in districts #2 and #3. Remember, your district #1 overlords are in control and power must remain in district #1. We want our city to be as we want it! Don’t you ever forget that!

Please pass the yellow mustard!

You would never say something this disrespectful with your real name. You are just a weasel hiding behind a pseudonym.

I have never used taxpayer funds for any such thing.

As for soliciting business from constituents, you must be talking about the property tax appeals I handle as part of my law practice. I sent a mailer soliciting business to 30,000 addresses throughout Fulton and DeKalb. To the extent it was sent to addresses in my State House district, it was incidental.

As for representing my constituents, 58% of House District 80 voters supported cityhood. 6 out of 9 precincts voted yes. 2 of them are south of Peachtree.

And 1/4 of House District 80 is in Sandy Springs. They like cityhood, too.

J. Max Davis and Rebecca Williams can think for themselves. I have no puppets.

Mikey,
So two precincts not in your district supported the referendum?

Yet all the others did not.

Where is the error in 'Brookhaven South-er's' logic?

Mr non representative,
You tell stories little buddy. You solicited you constituency for your private business and you know it. You have $2500.00 to both Rebecca Chase Williams and $2500.00 to J Max Davis. Discretionary funds and money you raised for your reelection campaign. Mike, 75% of the districts in your fairyland VOTED NO. Spin it how you will. Are you ready to admit to all of us yet that voting yes for cityhood was a tax increase? Are you willing to admit that the city IS IN FACT another layer of government? And as far as JMax thinking for himself, why are you constantly consulting with him? We see
You going over to his house all the time with your other puppets JD Clovkadale, Jeff Kellar, etc. You lied to us fella. Plain and simple. Lied. Sleep well micro Mike.

Mikey,
I'd really like an answer.
You must remember, I worked to get you elected, during your first two terms.

Mike,
So what's your answer?
When are you going to admit that voting yes to cityhood means a tax increase?
When are you going to admit that cityhood is IN FACT another layer of government?
When are you going to admit that your disclosures show loadsoif special interests, lobbyists and PAC groups and that you yourself have taken donations from potential city vendors?
Answers? Lets here it Mike.

Maven,
Your neighborhood and most others were included in happy town because they need your property tax revenue. They started with a small circle and expanded and expanded until they achieved a footprint that they think will generate enough income to have the happy town Jacobsville. It's all about what J Boy and Mikey can get get on our nickel.

Ms. BM, think about this for a moment . . . You are at the intersection of I-85 and Clairmont at the Waffle House. You make a 911 call on your cell phone. Who comes to assist? Chamblee? Brookhaven? DeKalb?

I suggest you get your carry permit, learn CPR, and you have a defibrillator with you at all times.

WTF?

So much for fragmented government!

Please! Pass the double cur yellow mustard!

And, from what I understand, Chamblee will now be controlling I-85 from Clairmont to I-285? Is this correct? Hey! We just want to make sure our revenue stream continues?

Please! Pass the double cur yellow mustard!

I am sorry that Maven can not understand that Rep. Jacobs Was Elected in 2010,defeating Sandy 2 to 1 to be the State Rep. from Dist.80 at the same time the Georgia Dem. were working to give Dist. 81 a sorry State Rep{ who is leaving,being replace by Chris B.}Thank you Eddie for telling everyone your political views,,But more important is Thank You Rep.Jacobs for your work to make our city.

Patrick, try and understand this in light of Jacobs' having declared, for the cityhood of Brookhaven, that the Consitution of Georgia prohibites townships and would require a referendum to enact it while:

Do note "A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT

To amend Title 36 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to local government, so as to provide for preclearance of new townships under Section 5 of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended; to provide for a short title; to provide for the requirements for the creation and funding of such townships; to provide for township councils for such townships; to provide for powers, duties, and functions of such township councils; to provide for officers, meetings, elections, and... to prohibit certain conflicts of interest...,"

"Georgia State Constitution: Section 2, Paragraph II: Object of government.
The people of this state have the inherent right of regulating their internal government. Government is instituted for the protection, security, and benefit of the people; and at all times they have the right to alter or reform the same whenever the public good may require it. "

BM,
And, to their credit, Chamblee just rolled back one of the most absurd zoning decisions in the City's history. It only took 7 years to correct the problem and without substantial citizen input, I doubt the mayor would have accepted just how wrong he was in the initial decision.

Mr. BM, nothing better than a prepared citizen . . .

Please pass the yellow mustard!

BM,
You make a good point at the end.
Let's hope the pointless discussion of handing off 911 service to a for-profit system that has yet to prove it's functionality disappears by December 18.

Moreover, is it "incidental" also that we still await your long-overdue cite of the Constitution of the State of Georgia's prohibition of "townships," as you did post to this forum, to, in effect, deny citizens that option.
