DeKalb Commissioner: "We have been an embarrassment to DeKalb County"
Decatur Metro | November 14, 2007It seems that tensions are high among DeKalb top officials. At yesterday’s city commission meeting, where commissioners voted 4 to 3 in favor of 2:30a closing times for DeKalb bars, they also had a few choice words for each other AND for DeKalb CEO Vernon Jones.
Go DeKalb reports…
“Jones and [Commissioner] Ellis began to argue, with Ellis rebuking the CEO for threatening the commissioners when the microphones were off. Ellis said Jones indicated to the police department not to give Ellis police protection. “He’s done it before and he is doing it again.”
The argument came to a close when [Commissioner] May interrupted and said, “We have been an embarrassment to DeKalb County. I am sick of it. This is ridiculous. We are wasting time. Let’s vote this up or down and move on.”
Sketchy….
