The first and only true debate on cityhood caused a peculiar response from the proponents - refusing to debate issues, Rob Augustine and Denny Shortall acted like children when they personally attacked Rep. Jill Chambers. Their utter disregard for the concerns of citizens and their silly behaviour show that perhaps Rep. Chambers is correct in her examination of the Dunwoody issue.
The following week, at the Dunwoody rah-rah rally at the church, the city proponents finally spoke openly about the potential litigation and admitted that there will have to be a tax increase to support the city. If the League of Women Voters had not hosted a successful debate, I doubt the rally organizers would have been so forthcoming in their final public meeting.
Two important questions came at the end of the rally:
Do any of the proponents have a financial interest in cityhood?
Which companies were approached with the potential $10 million contract to run the city?
here is the link to the citizens for dunwoody proposed contract: http://www.citizensfordunwoody.org/documents/RFP20080601.pdf
Those questions were not answered to the satisfaction of many attendees.
Will all city activists will pledge to not run for office and not take any payments for any services for Dunwoody (including city attorney and legal organ advertising!)?
