DeKalb reform group plans first meeting
A group of DeKalb County leaders plans to begin meeting June 5 to study the impact of creating new cities, the county’s governance structure, equitable distribution of tax proceeds and ethics.
DeKalb County CEO Lee May said he hopes the Task Force on DeKalb County Operations can agree on how to “fix DeKalb in one fell swoop.”
The group, which will meet at the Maloof Audiorium from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on June 5, includes county commissioners, a university professor and community development experts.
