From the Dunwoody Crier [via Political Insider]…

The DeKalb County Commission finally dropped its last-ditch lawsuit against the incorporation of the city of Dunwoody last week.  CEO Burrell Ellis applauded the decision, while commissioners basically admitted that the sole reason for the lawsuit was the loss of tax revenue from the area around Perimeter Mall.

An honest, if not legally defensible argument.

Speaking of indefensible arguments, here’s a quote from the article that gives this Decatur resident a ridiculous idea…

With the inclusion of the Perimeter Center area, Dunwoody has a 40 percent commercial base, the same as the county as a whole. If the Perimeter Center was excluded, Dunwoody would be “grossly disproportionate” with residential areas and minimal commercial property. [Dunwoody City Attorney Brian] Anderson said this would be “fundamentally unfair.”

New lawsuit!  Decatur vs. DeKalb County.   “With commercial property making up only 15% of Decatur’s tax digest, we, the residents of Decatur, find this fundamentally unfair.  Give us more.  We need the money.”
