Sandy Springs mayor vows to fight billboards
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The city of Sandy Springs released a statement Thursday night from Mayor Eva Galambos vowing to fight the new billboards that could be built in the city as a result of a Fulton County Commission vote this week.
If you missed the story, here it is:
Fulton OKs settlement that would mean more billboards
Here is the text of the statement from Sandy Springs Mayor Eva Galambos:
“The City of Sandy Springs is adamantly opposed to 23 new billboards in our city. The elected officials of Sandy Springs were not invited and did not have input in this decision.
Citizens of Sandy Springs fought billboards when in Fulton County and do not sanction billboards now.
I find it unconscionable and egregious that the Commissioner representing Sandy Springs would vote in opposition to his constituents’ views. Mr. Lowe cast the fourth vote that gave this decision a majority vote. I can only hope that he will reconsider this vote and amend it so as to represent the people who elected him.
We will use every legal means available to fight this action.”
MORE REACTION from the Johns Creek Mayor Mike Bodker and Fulton Commissioner Tom Lowe
