Walk on up to the courthouse tomorrow if you’re itchin’ to ask any of the DeKalb CEO candidates a question. Perhaps something along the lines of “Why does the county refuse to give its cities its fair share of HOST taxes?”

From a DeKalb History Center Press Release…

The Champion Newspaper and the DeKalb History Center are hosting a DeKalb CEO Candidates Forum on Thursday, June 26. The forum is scheduled to take place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the historic DeKalb County Courthouse, 101 E. Court Square in Decatur.

All candidates vying for the CEO position-Joe Bembry, county Commissioner Burrell Ellis, former state Sen. Steen Miles, state Rep. Stan Watson and Ann Kimbrough, chief of staff to the current CEO-have confirmed their intention to participate.

Candidates will be given the opportunity to make brief opening statements followed by a series of questions-some provided by the audience. The forum will be moderated by Gale Horton Gay, Managing Editor of ACE III Communications, Inc., publishers of The Champion.
