Snellville Pettiness
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Our good friends in Snellville are at it again.
This time, the issue stems from a flier for the Snellville Commerce Club — a private civic organization - that was placed in a recent mailing of business license renewals sent out by City Hall.
Mayor Pro Tem Warren Auld took issue with the fliers being placed in the mailings, saying they made it look like the organization is a city function. Councilwoman Kelly Kautz found the inserts inappropriate, too.
City Manager Russell Treadway approved the fliers’ inclusion on the grounds that the Commerce Club is the closest thing to a town chamber of commerce. Make sense to me. Moreover, the civic group is to pick up the additional mailing costs.
Then again, this is Snellville, home to a city government that has fast become the laughing stock of Gwinnett County. Snits and tension run high.
If you’re ever in the mood for a laugh, please attend a Snellville council meeting. Decorum has long left the building.
