    DeKalb Commissioner Sutton Speaks to Fox5

    Decatur Metro | January 26, 2010

    Lots of bad checks and a moldy house? I don’t even know what to do with that!

      The agitating is over. Commence spin cycle!

        I’m not sure that “I don’t know what happened in 1998″ even classifies as spin.

          Yes, but she learned a “valuable lesson” about balancing her checkbook from these events, despite the fact that she does not remeber them.

      The stupid, it hurts.

      I want to revive my proposal that we pull a Rick Perry and secede from DeKalb County.

        LOL! Real estate agents do that all the time. When we met with our agent when buying our house, she had to spend 5 minutes convincing us she was really the person on the sign–the picture was about 20 years out of date!

      Attention, all criminal miscreants: You may now evade arrest in DeKalb County so long as your memory fails you with regard to the deed at issue. That is all.

      Hey Metro, Why is Burrell Ellis in the tag list? The poor guy has enough problems, don’t make him part of this, too.

        The piece states that Ellis has directed the public safety officer to look into the incident.

      Wow! That lady is a total joke. It is sad that she could teach business in Dekalb schools, but it does explain a lot. How sad.

      Dekalb county politics: the stupid leading the oblivious. I hope the stakes are sufficiently low, but I fear not.

      Nonetheless, I fear sorry for Sutton. She seems to have gotten into similar financial troubles that many decent people are facing. Hauling her into jail as a result of a fender bender seems kind of compassionless.

        When did BRAD STEELE start using pronouns?

        The housing crisis didn’t hit until 2007. She was passing bad checks in 1998, apparently. I can see running into trouble if your house molds over, etc. But repeatedly passing bad checks over a span of years? That’s not bad luck. It’s inexclusable stupidity or fraud. And while she was suffering these apparent financial setbacks, she was driving a Lexus. Doesn’t sound like a financially responsible person to me.

      WHAT? we have a Commissioner that by her own admission can’t balance her checkbook and does not remember the year 1998? so comforting! glad she is helping with the County budget! ugghhhh

      I already feel safer knowing she is on the job.
