Water Bill Town Hall - TONIGHT at 7 p.m.

Cheryl Miller from Brockett Heights · Just now

Water main breaks are

all too common in

our county.

Oct. 6, 2016: If you have had issues recently with your water bill, or suspect that your water meter has been tampered with, changed or otherwise left to report inaccurate or unreliable data back to the county, PLEASE try to attend tonight's meeting at 7 p.m. The location is 1300 Commerce Drive in Decatur.

Commissioner Nancy Jester is hosting the town hall, but residents from all districts are invited to attend. If you have been victimized by over the top/inaccurate billing, please plan to speak up in order to document for the public record the extent of errors and overcharges that have occurred. DeKalb County has a new Interim Financial Officer now and perhaps there will be a solution to this ongoing problem that has not been offered or suggested in the past. Do not give up!

Your water is a VITAL county resource that you PAY for, but you should not be charged for errors in the meter system, human error or corruption. Bring your proof with you if possible or just show up to support your neighbors who have suffered the headaches of improper and illegal billing procedures that have been allowed to continue in our county year after year.

Commissioners Kathie Gannon and Jeff Raider are also co-hosting this town hall meeting.

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...

UPDATED: Szubski Lands Project Manager Position with JE Dunn Construction

It seems that congratulations are in order for two of Tucker's most "upwardly mobile" residents: Ben and Sonja Szubski, active promoters of the city of Tucker effort since it started. We wanted to make sure our readers were aware of how there is a real and very serious connection between the leadership driving this city effort, and the development groups seeking to tear down and destroy (so they can then buy cheap and rebuild) what we know and love about Tucker. First, here is the announcement from JE Dunn Construction: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Ben Szubski Joins JE Dunn Construction as Project Manager Press release from the issuing company Monday, June 30th, 2014 Ben Szubski is extending his 18-year career in construction by joining JE Dunn Construction Company as a project manager, the company announced.

The Media Gets It Wrong, Again!

HQ For DeKalb's Police, Fire Rescue, Emergency Management, Public Safety, 911 and more! This is Tucker! But a report coming from this location does NOT mean the crime was committed in T ucker. The news media falsely reported that a crime was committed in Tucker, simply because they were getting information from the police HQ, which is located in Tucker. This is not the first time this has happened. Save Tucker! posted the correct locations based on the addresses given by police from the beginning. (see above.) We asked for a retraction. We have also asked local media to please be more careful in their rush to get a story on the air. Many Tucker residents were on edge as they were being told the carjacking happened in their community. Because this subject did come up again, it gives us another opportunity to point out to the residents of the proposed Lavista Hills that they should seriously be worried about the plan to form a dep...
