Citizen group proposes deep reforms in DeKalb
A group of DeKalb County residents is recommending a series of changes to help overhaul a county tainted by allegations of corruption.
The group’s Blueprint to Redefine DeKalb County calls for an internal audit watchdog, independent appointments of members of the Board of Ethics, a vote on term limits and greater financial transparency.
A community meeting on the Blueprint is scheduled for Sept. 30 at 6:30 p.m. in the Maloof Auditorium in Decatur.
Details about the group's suggestions are available at BlueprintDeKalb.org.
