This two part video is of Burrell Ellis at his second Town Hall Meeting of the year.
DeKalb County CEO speaks at Ashford Park Elementary School about his One DeKalb program, the budget, and other county issues.
The DeKalb CEO said caution is necessary.
Today, members of the Georgia House of Representatives, by a vote of 101 to 57, adopted HB 636, which would allow for a referendum on the proposed city of Brookhaven/Ashford. I commend the members of the DeKalb County House Delegation, led by Chairman Howard Mosby, who spoke out on behalf of all DeKalb County citizens by opposing this legislation which bypasses the local legislative process. I am not against cityhood, because I believe citizens have a fundamental right of self-governance.

There are many reasons ranging from estimated revenue to expenditures. But what I would specifically like to address in this letter today zeroes in on the most critical role of county government --- public safety.
