All You Need to Know to Vote No on New Cities

The new cities of Lavista Hills and Tucker will be voted on this November 3, 2015. Residents who say they hope to escape from county problems will be disappointed to learn that the same people who have been accused of corruption in the county are behind these new cities and have pitted the two areas against each other intentionally. Otherwise, the residents would have no reason to incorporate unless they feared "takeover" from the other side or surrounding cities. Those fear tactics should not be tolerated and are, in fact, illegal under federal law.

Don't vote for a city if you are not sure who will be leading it and what they intend to do. We can continue to get along with our neighbors and stop the fighting and destructive competition that keeps most people's focus on each other rather than the true thieves funneling money to their own friends and family networks.

DON'T JOIN THEM by approving the ridiculous boundaries and poor service offerings that will cost everyone more money = VOTE AGAINST THEIR PLAN! Keep your money in your own pocket and wait until the legislature has fixed the city process so that it is a fair and accurate method, not one that is mainly a political beast set to destroy anyone who gets in its way.

We can root out the corrupt and turn our current government around instead of giving them an escape route into new cities, non partisan elections and appointments that could even further the careers of a few into state offices as well.

Do the right thing -

Vote NO on NO-NO-NOvember 3.

Welcome to Smoke Rise, Soon to be Tucker, GA

This could be the change that residents will see if Tucker 2015 is successful in getting its referendum nto a ballot and voters approve it. The driving force behind the city of Tucker has been the leadership within the community known as "Smoke Rise, GA." Smoke Rise residents currently have addresses that say "Stone Mountain, GA" and many of them worked hard in order to create a separate identity for themselves, petitioning the U.S. Post Office to change their official name to "Smoke Rise." While the Post Office did not agree to change the official name, they did agree to allow "Smoke Rise" as a recognized alternative to "Stone Mountain" that could be used interchangeably as long as it accompanied their 30087 zip code. It is important to note that these residents did not ask the Post Office to recognize their use of "Tucker" as an acceptable alternative. They asked to be called "Smoke Rise." It appears t...

Do These Families Feel "Welcomed" at DeKalb County's Schools?

Georgia counties where 50 or more unaccompanied minors were released from Jan. 1 through July, according to the Office of Refugee Resettlement in the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services Administration for Children & Families. Cherokee County 65 Cobb County 138 DeKalb County 347 Fulton County 64 Gwinnett County 266 Hall County 85 WHO knows the truth about what is happening in our schools and how quickly are they acting to protect their own neighborhoods, drawing their own borders and leaving everyone else holding the education tab for the immigrant population THEY helped bring here? Do the new city proponents claim to know anything about a city - school connection? Or do they do the typical political double speak and merely deny, deny, deny? WHAT do they know that they are not telling the rest of us? WHO do they know and HOW will they benefit? If you do not know the answers then you are probably on the losing end of...

Mr. Levitas, Did You Know Where Tucker Was When You Represented It?

From the time of the first announcement ever made about a "Lakeside City" (now called "Lavista Hills), we heard the name "Kevin Levitas" associated with it. It wasn't clear if he was the leader or if it was Mary Kay Woodworth, or possibly both of them together in a typical PTA type of shared credit, deflected blame. But, what we did NOT know until much later was the very long standing love/hate relationship that Mr. Levitas has with our community. We don't know or understand all the factors that have gone into his crusade to destroy Tucker any more than we can understand a politician who switches parties but maintains that his own philosophy on life has remained the same (which was also something Levitas did, along with others including our own Governor of Georgia). But, what is downright outrageous and possibly even deceptive to our Central Dekalb citizens is the fact that Levitas, who has publicly stated his confusion over what exactly is a...
