As Steve says in an email pointing to this article,”an old idea resurfaces”.

Neighbor Newspapers reports that Stone Mountain State Senator Gloria Butler has been appointed by the lieutenant governor to chair a Senate study committee to look into the idea of creating a “City of DeKalb”.  According to the paper…

Butler will be joined by a group of seven committee members, consisting of fellow legislators and local officials from DeKalb County.

…After listening to testimony from public officials and members of the local community, the committee will present its findings to the General Assembly.
