Proposal would make DeKalb CEO post non-partisan

A state senator from north DeKalb County has filed a bill that would make the county’s CEO post a non-partisan position.

Senate Bill 95, sponsored by Fran Millar, R-Dunwoody, would require all counties that use a CEO/county commission government structure to make the chief executive election non-partisan. DeKalb is the only metro Atlanta county to use that system, which is more common in large urban communities nationwide than in Georgia.

The bill has yet to be assigned to committee.
