From 231 Sycamore…

The Decatur Safe Routes to School program has won a prestigious “Golden Shoe” award from PEDS, the Pedestrians Educating Drivers Society. The award will be presented at the Annual Golden Shoe Awards ceremony, which just happens to be here in the city at the Old Courthouse on the Square, 6 – 8 pm, Wednesday, Nov. 5th.

I assume no one needs my help to find DeKalb County election results, but just in case you haven’t had a chance to look yet, here’s a link.

Among the highlights…

• The DeKalb County Commission referendum, which lets the commission not the CEO make the agenda, passed easily.
• It looks like all of the state House incumbents in DeKalb will win reelection
• Elaine Boyer held onto her county commission seat
• Tom Stubbs, who seemed to have a lot of Decatur sign support, got crushed by Linda Warner Hunter 71% to 29%.
• Georgia Constitutional Amendment 1 (Forest Preservation) looks like it’ll pass easily.  Right now Amendment 2 (Community Redevelopment) is close to passing with 97% of precincts reporting.  Amendment 3 (Infrastructure development) looks like it won’t.
