DeKalb Commission Says “No Thanks” To Stimulus Funding
Decatur Metro | September 16, 2010Why decide on anything when you can act angry and annoyed? From the AJC…
Political infighting and limited public involvement caused DeKalb County commissioners to reject $36.3 million in federal stimulus bonds.
The low-interest loan money was considered for proposals ranging from turning the former Doraville GM plant into an Atlantic Station to upgrading the sewer system. There also was talk of a convention center near the Mall at Stonecrest, some relief for the crowded Recorders Court or a new police academy.
In the end, all of those ideas were killed, and the money will likely go back to the state.
In other news, the Commission is considering a 67% increase to your water bill in order to pay for needed repairs to keep H2O flowing from your faucet.
