    DeKalb Loves a Good Lawsuit

    Decatur Metro | April 5, 2009

    Ty Tagami has a great piece in the AJC this morning, which summarizes all the lawsuits DeKalb County is currently fighting with its cities over the distribution of HOST.

    Mayor Floyd is quoted in the article saying that Decatur has spent over a $1 million in litigation costs since the HOST legal battle began 9 years ago.  But, as he also points out, what’s at stake is around $1 million a year in capital improvement costs.

    Again, DeKalb County refused to comment for a HOST article.

      ALL our elected officials need to show some leadership and arrive at a reasonable compromise on the HOST litigation. “You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?”
