DeKalb County’s interim CEO Lee May inspired us when he described findings of a county-commissioned report on corruption and waste as “laughable.”
What if DeKalb uses humor to embrace what has become an abundant county resource? DeKalb needs a new county slogan (because the scandals are threatening to chase off jobs). Here are suggestions some friends and I came up with:
“Culture of Corruption? Perhaps, but at least we have culture”
“DeKalb … a live, work and pay-to-play community”
“DeKalb: Where government leaders serve … time.”
“Welcome to DeKalb: Where it’s so easy to do business it’s criminal.”
“The county too busy to stay out of jail.”
“What happens in DeKalb stays in the courts”
Have a slogan to suggest for DeKalb? Submit yours on Twitter or Instagram with hashtag #dekalbslogan
