A state lawmaker whose House district includes Atlanta has raised a sharp protest against plans to annex Emory University and other properties into the city – but not into the Atlanta public school system.

The lawmaker made her points in an Aug. 4 letter to Mayor Kasim Reed and members of the Atlanta City Council.
