Two special investigators hired by DeKalb County’s interim CEO to look into allegations of wrongdoing in the county government issued a letter Wednesday calling the level of government corruption in DeKalb “stunning.”

Former Georgia Attorney General Mike Bowers and Richard Hyde were retained by Interim CEO Lee May last April to try to pull together multiple threads of local and federal investigations into a single report.

Nobody robs banks anymore. The crooks go into politics or become government employees.

I’ve been saying for years that there’s no Mob anymore. They can’t compete against government.

For the 30+ years we have lived in Georgia, DeKalb county has been corrupt at the local community government level.

Why is it stunning?

Because they were so sloppy.

It’s DeKalb...corruption is the rule, not the exception.

I presume that that county is dim-bulb-cratic.

If it were Repulsion, the corruption would be merely “gigantic”.

Death to both parties. (In the Iranian sense, of course. The word “death” is only a figure of speech.)

That is, until after CW-II. We’ll re address that word for liberals then.

It’s Atlanta. It’s social justice democrats. Look the other way as long as minorities are doing it.

Reparations have been in full swing for years...only to the, ‘talented tenth (%)’ , however.

Cobb and the stadium deal. Hurried through before the public had a chance to react.

Close..school cheating was Atlanta Schools, but not sure if that included DeKalb County Schools.
Bottom line is: Close enough to Atlanta to boast all the usual issues we find in Democrat held cities and counties.
Also, failure of black leadership. There, I said it.

That has always bothered me .. why put black people in charge if they aren’t capable of doing the job. Why not give them the training they need to do the job - FIRST.

But, I know they put them in these places because we’re not allowed to criticize them ..???? Is that dumb or what ..??

How many of our children are getting a terrible education because of this situation ..???????

They are in charge because their voter base puts them there, and the demographics are in their favor.

Yeh you beat me to it. DeKalb county has been corruption central in the 30 years I have lived in the Metro Atlanta area. This is not new.
