A property tax increase and the elimi-nation of all magnet transportation will be on the agenda when DeKalb School Board members meet May 10 for a final vote on its $735 million budget for 2011.

After the board’s Budget Committee failed to reach a consensus at its May 4

meeting, board mem-bers Jay Cunningham and Eugene Walker said they will propose a 1 mill increase to the full board to help bal-ance the budget and minimize the impact on the classroom and staff.

Cunningham, who represents District 5 in South DeKalb, said a 1 mill increase would gross $18 million and help the board pre-serve the jobs of all 200 paraprofessionals and the 59 media clerks targeted for layoff.

After removing the four school clos-ings from the budget last week, which would have saved $2.4 million, the com-mittee started the meeting with a gap of $113.4 million.

Committee members voted to remove four other items from the list of cuts.

They preserved the seventh period for schools, kept targeted points and pre-served 100 of the 200 paraprofessionals and 30 of the 59 media clerks but were still $101.9 million short.

Cunningham said it was time to be truthful and adjust the millage rate.

“We are going to come up short,” he said. “At the end of the day, we are going to be right back here.”

Cunningham said the tax increase would allow the board the cushion it needs to meet its obligations to children and its employees.

Finance Director Marcus Turks shared with the committee that DeKalb County Tax Assessor Calvin Hicks had revised his estimate of the amount of decline in the tax digest. Hicks is now anticipating a 2 percent decline, instead of the 7 percent previously announced.

If everything else stays the same as last year, the DeKalb Tax Commissioner’s Office said Thursday that a 1 mill increase would cost the owner of a $200,000 home

Five lawyers who have been campaigning for months to replace DeKalb State Court Judge Edward E. Carriere Jr., may not get their chance at the ballot box on Nov. 2.

Carriere, who has been on the bench since 1998, is one of 836 DeKalb County employees who have taken the county’s offer of early retirement.

He did not return telephone calls to his office this week, but his clerk, Toni Cook, said he is leaving the county on Aug. 31, instead of his previously announced retirement date of Dec. 31.

With less than six months left on Car-riere’s term, it could fall on Republican Gov. Sonny Perdue to appoint his replacement.

Perdue spokesman Bert Brantley said that as of Thursday, Carriere had not tendered his resignation to Perdue.

Under Georgia Constitution Article VI, Section 7, Paragraph 4, “An appointee to an elective office shall serve until a successor is duly elected and qualified, and until Janu-ary 1 of the year following the next general election which is more than six months after such person’s appointment.”

Brantley said that if and when Carriere sends his resignation to the governor, Perdue can do one of two things.

“The governor could keep the seat open or he could appoint someone, which would cancel the previously scheduled election and put off the election until 2012,” he said.

Qualifying for the bench, and other non-partisan races, will be June 28-July 2.

Word on the street this week is that Re-publican state Sen. Dan Weber is the likely appointee for the position.

Weber, the incumbent representative for District 40 in Dunwoody, did not qualify for re-election last week. He did not return phone calls or respond to emails.

Brantley said any talk of a specific nomi-nee would “just be speculation.”

“There is a judicial nominating commis-sion of 20 respected members of the legal community, including the attorney general,” he said. “The commission will interview candidates and present a short list to the governor. Until he gets that short list, he wouldn’t know who is on it, but that is not to say that the person who is being speculated about wouldn’t be on the list.”

If the Nov. 2 election to replace Carriere is pre-empted or cancelled, only one other open judicial seat – to succeed DeKalb Su-perior Court Judge Robert Castellani, who is retiring in December – would be on the

ballot.Nicole Marchand, Sherry Boston, Akin-

tunde “Tunde” Akinyele, and Anton Rowe – who have been campaigning for Carri-ere’s seat, said this week that if their race is aborted, they would like to be considered for appointment to the position. Until then, they say their campaigns continue.

Phyllis Williams, the fifth candidate was unavailabe at press time.

Akinyele, who was the first to declare for the seat in September 2008, said that until Carriere turns in his resignation, no one knows for sure what will happen with the seat.

“The campaign continues until we know differently,” he said Wednesday.

While he has spent a lot of has spent a lot of time and money on his campaign, Akinyele, said that he but has to deal with whatever happens.

I have worked hard at it, no doubt about that,” he said. “But I am not upset. The law


Old traffic tickets are providing a bo-nanza for DeKalb Recorders Court.

Through noon on Thursday, motorists had settled 10,710 outstanding traffic cita-tions and paid more than $1.9 million in fines.

Chief Judge Nelly Withers said that the court had collected fines totaling $1,979,751 by 12:48 p.m. on May 6. She said they are still processing amnesty tickets and collecting fines and would do so through May 7.

On April 30, the last day of the six-week amnesty, the line of people outside the Decatur-based court stretched down Camp Circle to Memorial Drive.

The motorists, some armed with folding chairs for the long wait, were hoping to settle their old tickets at the old fines schedule and benefit from reduced fees that were being offered between March 22 and April 30 to help resolve more than 500,000 outstanding tickets dating back to the late 1990s.

That day, Withers said they were open past midnight and still ended up issuing 600 blue tickets to people who were still on line at closing. Those blue tickets allowed motor-ists to return this week and still benefit from the amnesty.

“Volume has been heavy all week with the

blue ticket holders,” she said.The lines at the court are also swollen

by motorists who are being reported to the state Department of Driver Services (DDS) for failure to appear.

Withers said they are reporting 300 a day and she expects the long lines to continue into next year as the court tackles its huge failure-to-appear and warrant backlog.

“I guess the bottom line is, until we get through all those cases, citizens can expect long lines daily,” she said. “Realistically, this could take until the third quarter of next year.”

A new higher fee schedule kicked in at the court on May 1 and the court is now

reporting motorists with outstanding traf-fic citations to DDS for their licenses to be suspended.

Yolanda Crowder of Stockbridge got a speeding ticket on Jan. 4, 2000, and didn’t want to lose her license.

“They are digging up old tickets,” she said. “I never heard anything about it; I thought they had thrown it out.”

One motorist was so angry, he expressed his displeasure on the side and rear windows of his SUV sitting in a nearby parking lot.

“Tax collectors w/badges,” was written on one window. Another read: “U fail 2 give me new court date, now 5 yrs later its my fault. WTF.” Please see SCHOOLs, page 8

South DeKalb voters will be headed to the polls in July to pick winners in only six DeKalb County races – the 4th Congressional District; Commission District 7; Senate Dis-trict 42; and House Districts 88, 89 and 94.

In all other House, Senate and County Commission districts, Democratic incum-bents were largely returned unopposed. Only state Rep. Stephanie Stuckey Benfield and state Sen. Ronald Ramsey attracted Republican opposition in the Nov. 2 general election.

Qualifying for the July 20 primary took place April 26-30.

In the open race for the DeKalb Commis-sion Super District 7 seat, four candidates – Decatur residents Bryce Evan Farbstein, Tiernery Grier and former state Rep. Stan Watson, and Kathryn Rice of Stone Moun-tain, a college professor and past president of the Hidden Hills Homeowners Associa-tion – are vying to replace Connie Stokes, who is running for Congress. Willie Mosley, who had previously announced for the seat, did not qualify.

Former DeKalb CEO Vernon Jones, a Democrat, also qualified for the District 4 congressional seat held by incumbent Hank

District 85 since 1999, will face Republican Kenneth Brett Quarterman in November.

Attorneys Jason Carter and Tom Stubbs, who are running in the May 11 special elec-tion to replace David Adelman in Senate District 42, both qualified for the Democratic primary and will meet again on July 20.

In Senate District 43, Ramsey will meet Republican Diana Williams in the fall.

In other DeKalb races, Democrats Keith Gross, a business owner, and Sandy Murray, a computer consultant and trainer, are seeking the right to challenge Dunwoody Republican Mike Jacobs in House District 80. Jacobs, who was first elected to the House in 2005 as a Democrat, switched parties in 2007.

In House District 81, Republican incum-bent Jill Chambers will defend her seat in the fall against Democrat Elena Parent, an attorney. All other incumbents for the House and Senate were returned unopposed.

On the DeKalb Board of Commission-ers, Larry Johnson (District 3) and Jeff Rader (District 2) were returned to office unopposed, as was DeKalb Solicitor-General Robert James.

In other East Metro races, Rockdale in-cumbent state Rep. Toney Collins will defend his District 95 seat from two Democrats, Covington investigator Andrea Cooper and Conyers flight attendant Pam Dickerson. The victor will meet Republican Rodney Upton, a septic contractor, in November.

In the 13th Congressional District, Democratic incumbent David Scott is facing consultant Mike Murphy and graphic de-signer Michael Frisbee. In the GOP primary, six candidates – Mike Crane, Hank Dudek, “Chip” Flanegan and Rupert G. Parchment, physician Deborah Honeycutt, and restau-rant manager Dave Orr – are running.

Johnson. On the Republican side, four candi-dates – Victor Armendariz, Liz Carter, Larry Gause and Cory Ruth – qualified.

and we are satisfied with the program.”

Michael Bell, Finance Director

COMMUNITY PGCommunityEarly retirement grosses $22 millBy Jennifer Ffrench Parker

The gross savings from the 836 employees who are leaving DeKalb County government on May 31 will be $22.8 million – more than twice what county commissioners had hoped for.

Dr. Michael Bell, the county’s finance director, said that $17.4 million – the bulk of the savings for the period June 1-Dec. 31 – is coming from the tax-funded budget. The enterprise funds – water, sewer and the airport – account for $4 million of the gross savings.

While the county expects to refill some of the positions that will erode some of the savings, the early retirement program that was offered to employees in April has greatly exceeded expectations.

More than 50 percent of the 1,217 eligible employees are taking the package of lump-sum cash payment and an additional two years of service on the pension of employees with 10 years of service.

The county, which has 7,900 employees, is downsizing to help cover a $100 million revenue shortfall in its 2010 budget.

Even with the early retirees, a staffing study commissioned by the Board of Com-missioners from Georgia State University,, suggests that the county might still be bloat-ed by over 900 employees.

The $564.9 million budget approved by commissioners had assumed a $10 million to $17.5 million savings from the program.

“We met our goal and we are satisfied with the program,” said Bell, a 15-year county employee who is one of 13 department heads who have taken the early retirement.

The other department heads who are leaving are Lee Remmel, director of DeKalb-Peachtree Airport; Board of Commissioners

Clerk Barbara Sanders; Maria Mullins, direc-tor of Economic Development; GIS Director Denise Finley; Human Resources Director Joe Stone; Magistrate Court Judge Winston Bethel; Medical Examiner Paul Kelhofer; Planning Director Patrick Ejike; Roads and Drainage Director Carl Glover; State Court Chief Judge Edward Carriere Jr.; and Trans-portation Director John Gurbal.

A total of 177 sworn officers – 62 from the Sheriff ’s Office, 43 from the Police Depart-ment and 72 from Fire and Rescue Services – are leaving the county. All of those officers will have to be replaced.

DeKalb CEO Burrell Ellis has the op-tion of designating certain of the employees that he supervises as “key employees” and can ask them to stay beyond May 31. The constitutional officers – sheriff, district at-torney, courts, and tax commissioner – also are conducting a similar exercise for their departments.

Keith Barker, the county’s chief operating officer, was unavailable Wednesday, but Myra Hagley, his assistant, said he received the final list of retirees and recommendations from department heads on April 30 and has not yet reviewed the recommendations with them.

She said Barker has until May 18 to turn his recommendations over to Ellis and to the Board of Commissioners.

“He won’t know the final list of those who would be taking deferred retirement until then,” she said.

Happy Mother’s Day

School system’s move raises questions about priorities

When I read in CrossRoadsNews [May 1] that the DeKalb County School System had relocated as of March 19 to new Stone Mountain offices in the old Cub Foods build-ing on Mountain Industrial, well, I was almost speechless.

Reportedly, the renovation pro-cess cost $31 million. How can that be when there is a budget shortfall and proposals on the table for school closings?

One of the reasons stated for moving to the new facility was that “DCSS believes the new location will prove economically efficient through a streamlining of facility operations.” Another reason given was “such an environment will aid the district in creating and maintaining successful business protocols.”

It sounds like a bunch of “use-less words” to me.

Seemingly the focus is not on the education of our children. It seems like the administration is

waving their “magic wand,” i.e., instead of pulling a rabbit out of a hat, they are pulling money out a “supposedly” depleted budget when it fits their so-called “wants.”

When will they focus on the educational future of our chil-dren and find ways to keep our schools open? While they believe in “economically efficient buildings,” etc., I think most people believe in “the educational future of our children.”

We believe that our communi-ties should not be robbed of our schools on an educational admin-istration’s whim that puts buildings before children’s learning. It is a sad day in the neighborhood when

material structures take precedence over the child’s right to go to school in their own community.

Attending a school outside their community would mean busing the children there, causing a hardship on the parents too.

This is not a progressive move but a regressive move back to the 1950s, when black people were struggling for equalized education with the opposite color.

What excuses do we have now other than a “budget shortfall” or a “renovated building,” etc., when we impose such disparities on our own children?

I am one DeKalb citizen who is so thankful that the DeKalb Chamber of Com-merce and other concerned business leaders have stepped forth to address this “disaster of a school board” that we have in DeKalb County.

As to many other county officials, from the CEO to the Board of Commissioners, where have they been?

We must ask ourselves if these other elected officials are leading DeKalb County to a “better place” or “a deep dark hole.”

If I can find a 1,500-person discrepancy in 10 minutes, what else is askew in

this report? Why would Georgia State University rush to promote skewed data?

Eugene Walker

“Never let a few facts get in the way of a good story.” That old witticism among politicians and journalists comes to mind today.

A trusted, venerable institution named Georgia State University just completed a study on DeKalb staffing. It made a big splash in the news, decreeing that DeKalb Coun-ty was overstaffed, that 909 people had to be fired, and that DeKalb has twice the paid staff of Gwinnett and Cobb counties, which have compa-rable populations. From a storytell-ing standpoint it was a hatchet job, although I’m not sure why it played out that way.

The troubling thing to me is the way the misinformation was dealt as though DeKalb, Cobb and Gwin-nett are all identical commodities, and by virtue of paid staffing levels, Cobb and Gwinnett are somehow more efficient than DeKalb. It spe-cifically cited that Cobb had 4,600 employees, Gwinnett 4,800 and DeKalb 8,077.

When you look at the break-

down, it’s a lot closer. Cobb and Gwinnett have some outsourced services, like watershed manage-ment and sanitation. DeKalb County operates its own services in these areas.

We can argue the relative merits of privatizing government services another day, but one thing is cer-tain: There are human beings pick-ing up the trash and fixing the wa-ter lines in Cobb and Gwinnett. It is not being performed by animals, machines or extraterrestrials.

The taxpayers of Cobb and Gwinnett are paying for these hu-man beings to do these jobs (and possibly others). The difference is they may be paying a private con-tractor or entity separately, or they

are paying through the county, and the county is paying the outsourced staff. Either way, there are employ-ees and they are being paid.

But the study contemplates zero people in both departments in Cobb and Gwinnett. So if we are comparing apples to apples, you have to take out De Kalb’s watershed and sanitation, right? Then De-Kalb’s staffing level falls to 6,563.

Take away the 820 employees that are taking the county’s early retirement package, and the total drops to 5,743.

Now we are down to about 1,000 paid staff that separate De-Kalb from Cobb and Gwinnett, and that’s just with two glaring errors found in a side-by-side compari-

son. There are other areas that may be outsourced on a smaller scale.

In the case of Gwinnett, the study showed that zero people were fixing county-owned cars and trucks. Again, I can guarantee you that someone is repairing those vehicles, and taxpayers are paying them to do it.

If I can find a 1,500-person discrepancy in 10 minutes, what else is askew in this report? Why would Georgia State University rush to promote skewed data, and why would the Atlanta papers be in such a hurry to copy an unvetted propaganda piece?

If you compare apples to apples, DeKalb is quite similar in size and stature to other area counties. That’s not a very exciting story. But if you spin it so it looks like govern-ment run amok, then that tall tale might make the front page of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

If the Ku Klux Klan shows up in downtown Conyers on May 8, there will be a crowd to tell them they are not welcomed.

Community activists Josie Dean, founder of Black Men Never Forget; John Evans, president of Operation LEAD; and Gerald Rose, president of New Order, said this week they will lead a group of community activists and grass-roots organizations in a counter-demonstration. Dean said Wednesday that they had secured a permit to march.

The group got wind of a possible KKK rally – at noon outside the Rockdale Courthouse at 22 Court St. N.E. in Conyers – from a posting on a blog in December.

Dean said her group will not stand for the KKK coming into Rockdale County.

“We remember the killings and rape of African-Americans in the past,” she said. “We will stand up to them and let them know that we are not scared.”

Dean said the KKK originally said the rally would celebrate its anniversary.

“Because of all the attention the rally brought, they’re now saying they are marching for jobs and immigration,” she said.

Free H1N1 vaccinations will be available to stu-dents of all ages at four DeKalb County high schools on May 15.

The DeKalb Board of Health, which is offering the clinics at Miller Grove, Stone Mountain, McNair and Cross Keys high schools, says this is the last chance to get the vaccines free of charge.

While H1N1 flu activity is relatively low in most other states, the flu continues to circulate in Georgia. As of April 2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that DeKalb experienced five H1N1-related deaths this year.

Bernard Hicks, the board’s Office of Emergency Preparedness program manager, said the virus is still around and that the vaccine is safe and effective. “This is an excellent opportunity for parents who may have missed getting their child immunized during the beginning of the school year to take advantage of the ample vaccine supply and get their child both immunized and protected.”

The clinics, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., offer pro-tection for students who may be entering summer camps, traveling domestically and internationally, or

going off to college. Children or adults with chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes and HIV are en-couraged to get the vaccine. To be effective, children younger than 9 should receive two doses. If a child already has received the first dose, parents are encour-aged to bring them for the second dose.

Although there is no charge for the vaccine, an ad-ministrative fee may be charged to Medicaid, Medi-care or private insurance. Parents should bring their health insurance card and immunization records.

Pre-registration is available until May 13 by call-ing 404-294-3700 weekdays from 8:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. The clinics will be at:n Stone Mountain High, 4555 Central Drive, Stone Mountain.n McNair High, 1804 Bouldercrest Road S.E., At-lanta.n Miller Grove High, 2645 DeKalb Medical Parkway, Lithonia.n Cross Keys High, 1626 North Druid Hills Road N.E., Atlanta.

Patrons of the Lou Walker Senior Center can now walk down the hall to see a heart specialist.

Doctors at Atlanta Heart Specialists cut the ribbon on their new office at the senior center on Panola Road in Lithonia on May 3.

Dr. Anthony Dorsey, one of the three partners in the practice, said that since they opened at Hillandale just over a year ago, the Lou Walker Center has kept them busy.

“Not a week that goes by that I don’t get a form from the Lou Walker Center to fill out for one of my patients to be ac-tive here,” he said. “Lou Walker provides a forum where our senior population can go and spend time and effort to try to improve not only their minds but their bodies.”

Dorsey said that as a population we are getting older and people are living longer.

“I think it’s places like this that give our older patients the avenue to spend time with themselves, to fellowship with

energy use at home or on the job at a May 15 workshop.“Take Back Your Power! Using Energy More Efficiently Without

Breaking the Bank” takes place 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Georgia Perimeter College’s Clarkston campus.

DeKalb District 6 Commissioner Kathie Gannon, who is hosting the session along with DeKalb CEO Burrell Ellis and the DeKalb Green Commission, said the workshop’s focus on saving energy and money is timely.

“This workshop is the one our residents have been asking for,” she said.

The free workshop will explore energy audits, use of solar panels, tax credits for saving on home energy costs, and purchasing energy-efficient appliances. It is co-sponsored by the Reznick Group and the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority and will include door prizes and exhibits.

He said his practice is excited to be opening its fifth office at Lou Walker Center to provide services.

“Our goal is for you to take away at least four numbers – your blood pressure, your body mass index, your cholesterol and your blood sugar – and we will provide a creative model where so we can target risk factors for heart disease and so that you can be more educated about your heath and your body,” he said.

The ribbon-cutting for the clinic was part of the center’s ceremony kicking off May as Older Americans Month.

Through the month, the center will host a number of activities including a spring fashion show on May 10, a water volleyball contest on May 13, a pinochle tournament on May 14, and an awards luncheon on May 15.

A SU SALUD

TO YOUR

By Brenda Camp Yarbrough

Eleven months ago, Shiroya “Kiki” Cor-nelious stared down death and lived to talk about it.

Cornelious, 28, fell into a coma in June after surgery to remove 21 inches of her large intestine ravaged by bleeding ulcers.

The ulcers were a side effect of predni-sone, the drug she was taking to treat the lupus she was diagnosed with when she was 19 years old.

Lupus, an autoimmune disease, causes the immune system to produce antibodies that attack the body.

Cornelious says doctors advised her fam-ily to “let her die with dignity.”

“The doctor told my mom and grand-mother that I was brain-dead and that if I was his daughter, he would let me die,” she said last week.

Instead, her grandmother, Laverna Barber, and mother Marcia Doss turned to prayer.

“God is a healer,” Barber said Tuesday. “When the doctor says ‘no,’ God says ‘yes.’ ”

After two weeks in the coma, Cornelious woke up and looked at her grandmother.

“I ran out in the hallway dancing,” Barber said.

Cornelious is happy she defied the odds, even though she is yet to get access to physi-cal therapy because Medicaid keeps denying her.

“I’m still here,” she says proudly.During the coma, Cornelious lost use of

her legs due to poor circulation and nerve damage. She has been in a wheelchair ever since, but this week she found that she is finally able to move her right ankle. On May 14, she is to be fitted with leg braces to help her walk.

But on May 8, she will be one of hundreds participating in the annual Walk for Lupus Now fund-raiser at Piedmont Park.

The event, which starts at 4 p.m., is part of annual observations during May as Na-tional Lupus Awareness Month.

Lupus, which affects more than 1.5

million Americans, is more common in African-Americans, Latinos, Asians, and Native Americans. African-American women are three times more likely to get lupus than Caucasian women and to suffer worse symptoms.

The National Institutes of Health es-

timates that as many as one in every 250 African-American women has lupus.

In Georgia, at least 55,000 suffer from the disease. Although 80 percent of lupus patients are women of childbearing age, anyone can develop the disease.

The national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the causes are unknown but are believed to be linked to genetic, envi-ronmental and hormonal factors.

Because the symptoms – which may include rash, photosensitivity, oral ulcers, arthritis, kidney problems, seizures and psychosis, and pericarditis as well as blood cell abnormalities – are so widespread, a rheumatologist’s diagnosis is considered the gold standard.

Cornelious is a member of the Decatur-based support group LACES, which stands for Lupus and Community Empowering Support. The group, which meets at 7 p.m. at the Wesley Chapel-William C. Brown Library on second Tuesdays monthly, is a patient resource and advocacy organization that collaborates with other health organiza-tions to promote lupus research, awareness and education and serves the needs of people with lupus and their families. The group was founded in 2003 by Kim Schofield, a patient advocate for people living with lupus. Scho-field was diagnosed in 2000.

Betty McPherson, the group’s co-leader who was diagnosed in 1996, says members run the age gamut. She said some young patients are very ill.

magnet schools open, said he would propose an alternative to eliminating all the transpor-tation, which would be a de facto elimination of the magnet program for most parents.

Cunningham said he will propose reduc-ing the number of shuttle stops to eight and save $2 million.

“What I am doing is trying not to elimi-nate all the transportation,” he said. “But the real problem is getting all the schools up to par so that parents would not feel the need to send their children great distances. Quite frankly, we are not living up to that standard.”

new transportation efficiency plan on its Web site that proposes eliminating transportation to magnet schools and for extracurricular activity routes for middle and high schools at a savings of $4 million.

Last year, the district stopped picking up magnet students from their homes and implemented centralized shuttle stops to which parents have to take their children.

If approved by board members, this new plan would take all transportation away and parents would have to drive their students to school daily.

Cunningham, who fought to keep all the

Walker, who has pushed for a tax increase from the beginning, said it was necessary.

“A 1 mill tax increase will offset some of these things,” he said. “I will take it to the full board.”

The School Board is on the final leg of clos-

ing an $88 million revenue gap in its 2011 budget. It is required by law to approve a balanced budget.

This week, the school system posted its

an additional $67.50 in property tax for a total school tax of $1,618.65.

In 2009, that homeowner paid $2,492.12 in property taxes. School taxes accounted for $1,551.15 of it.

The Budget Committee’s two other mem-bers – Paul Womack, its chairman, and Don McChesney – said they could not support a tax increase.

“We have too many people living hand to mouth in this county to raise taxes now,” Womack said.

This week, owners of 50,000 DeKalb properties will be getting notices from DeKalb Tax Assessor Calvin Hicks changing the assessed value of their properties.

Hicks said Wednesday that the great majority of the notices will be for lower values but that some people would see increases if they subdivided their land or renovated or had new construction on their proper-ties.

He said the notices would go in the mail

on May 7 and would start arriving in mailboxes this week.

The lower assessed values come in the wake of the decline in the tax digest. This week, Hicks told the Board of Commissioners that the decline is now estimated at 2 percent, a decline of $500 million, which is lower than the 7 percent first anticipated.

“The reduction wasn’t as severe as ini-tially thought,” he said.

The county has more than 233,000 prop-

erties. Preliminary reports show the 2010 tax digest is valued at $24.1 billion, down from $24.6 billion in 2009.

The earlier estimate of the decline in Feb-ruary amounted to a $100 million shortfall in the county’s budget.

Hicks said any decline in the tax digest will amount to less revenues for county governments.

“We are still talking about a lower tax base,” he said. “If they don’t adjust the millage rate, there is still a hole, just not as deep.”

Hicks said the final numbers won’t be

known until June when the digest is sent to the state Department of Revenue.

He said the earlier estimate of the tax digest decline was based on sales activity in 2009. “We didn’t take into consideration the impact of new construction and partial completes that were completed this year,” he said, adding that new construction offset the drop in values by $235 million.

The final percentage of the decline could be affected by 15,000 appeals that have been filed by property owners who disagree with their assessed values.

Paul Womack

Fourth District U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson has raised concerns about the proposed merger of United and Continental airlines, calling for hearings on competition in the airline industry.

Johnson, who chairs the Judi-ciary Subcommittee on Courts and Competition Policy, urges care-ful scrutiny of the merger, which reportedly would create the world’s largest

airline, breaking a record set just two years ago by the merger of Delta and Northwest.

“The disappearance of another major airline could lead to fewer choices and possibly higher prices,” Johnson said.

“The potential for increased prices, coupled with consumers’ concerns about continued approval

of antitrust immunity for international air-

line alliances demand that Congress examine this merger. It’s the Judiciary Committee’s responsibility to hold hearings to determine how the public would be impacted by these changes when traveling here and abroad.”

The subcommittee’s hearings would include the proposed merger in addition to airline practices such as multi-company international alliances and aggressive gate-swapping, which have raised concerns about circumvention of antitrust scrutiny.

A key lawmaker on aviation issues has already come out against the proposed $3 billion merger, voicing some of the same concerns.

U.S. Rep. James Oberstar (D-Minn.), chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said the proposed merger announced this week would speed up the consolidation of the airline industry, leading to higher fares, a decline in service and fewer choices for air travelers.

A group of 21 concerned parents, citi-zens, business people and government offi-cials have formed eduKALB, an education political action committee to change and strengthen the DeKalb School Board.

Chris Marquardt, an attorney who is co-chairing the group, said at a May 4 press conference announcing its formation, that group’s mission is to facilitate improved school board leadership through civic en-gagement, community awareness and en-hanced professional training.

“As parents and as citizens, we have come to the conclusion that excellence for our kids in the classroom starts with excellence at the top,” said Marquardt, who works with the Atlanta law firm Alston & Bird LLP. “We believe that it is vitally important for the DeKalb school system to have the highest school board leadership available.”

The group says its focus is county-wide and not just on focused on certain sections of DeKalb County.

“We’re unified by the common belief that there is nothing more important to our future as a community than the education of all our kids,” Marquardt said.

EduKALB’s other members include Gregory B. Levett, owner and founder of Gregory B. Levett & Sons Funeral Homes who is co-chairing the organization, Robert Newcomer, an attorney at the Lang Legal Group; Leonardo McClarty, president and CEO of the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce; Bettye Davis, director of One DeKalb; Bar-bara Holliman, president of Everest Institute; Kerry Ramsey, president of KD Ramsey and Associates; Dr. Donata Renfrow, president of J. Galt & Associates; David Schutten, presi-

dent of Organization of DeKalb Educators; Arnie Silverman, president of Silverman Construction Program Management; Rocio Woody, president of Road to Recovery; Ken Wright, mayor of Dunwoody; and commu-nity advocates Ernest Brown, Delores Crow-ell, Sadie Dennard, Sara Fountain, Allyson Gevertz, and Brenda Landers.

Levett said that as a businessman he wants to have the very best to offer the people that move to DeKalb County.

“When companies come to a county they do not look at the private schools,” he said. “They look at the public school. It is one of the first things they look at.”

The group says it will endorse a slate of candidates for the five School Board districts – 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 – that are up for re-election this year, and will do the same for future elections.

Dr. Eugene Walker, the District 9 School

Board member, said eduKALB is mis-guided.

“Their purpose should be to help develop and recruit businesses,” he said. “They are trying to educate people on school board business. Given their track record in recruit-ing businesses, they have fallen short. What expertise do they bring to the table?”

Walker, who is up for re-election, said the School Board needs help with funding.

“If the Chamber is concerned about help-ing, that’s the area it should help in,” he said. “We are in the midst of putting together what is the most difficult budget in our history and they want to change the school board, I think

it’s politically motivated.”Jay Cunningham, the District 5 board

member who is also up for re-election, said he was disappointed that the Chamber did not have a conversation with board mem-bers.

“I understand they talked with Tom Bowen, but he does not represent the whole board,” he said. Cunningham said he will concentrate on representing his district.

“They can back who they back, “ he said. “They can pick who they want to pick, I don’t feel that one group can say who is better.”

Marquardt said that in a few weeks eduKALB will begin a voter’s education campaign and will endorse candidates on the Nov. 2 ballot. The group plans to hold forums, issue questionnaires, conduct inter-views, sponsor training and promote voter education, to support the election of highly qualified school board members.

The kickoff press conference was attend-ed by School board members Paul Womack and Don McChesney.

McClarty, the Chamber’s president, said they will work closely with someone who has experience on being a school board member to train the candidates.

“Our goal is to educate ourselves about all the candidates and then encourage fel-low DeKalb citizens to make inform choices when they go to the polls in November,” Marquardt said.
