I will certainly defer to your seniority. Please note that my announcement for DeKalb Dems was, –though by it nature.. partisan– was civic-minded in tone. Though I am quite certain that those in Decatur of other political persuasion would share the concern about the destruction of local communities of interests. And Karass you can refer to me as Steve BLUE. Purple? No Way. LOL

The District Party Postholders who live in and around the City are united in their opposition to the what can only be called a butchering of key communities of interest ion our neighborhoods.

Dekalb did not grow as fast as other regions and we knew seats would be lost. What was shocking about this was that the lines were drawn north to South rather than east to west. The seats in question will certainly remain in Democratic hands so that is really not the issue.

Decatur and Druid Hills has considerable political muscle in House Minority Leader Abrams, House Caucus officer Benfield and Veteran legislator Oliver. That political muscle for the City of Decatur and the Druid Hills HS/Fernbank Elementary Community has been terribly weakened by these new lines,

We are very interested in hearing from local residents on how they feel this impacts our community,
