Atlanta City Council and Andre Dickens cannot be trusted with city funds. Ignoring voters demand for Beltline Rail, inability to deliver simple projects, and shutting down the OIG over the allegations against @andreforatlanta.com cannot be ignored

Does non-violent protest have a legitimate place in a democracy? While many of council members disagree with his politics, we will choose to look past our differences and celebrate this MLK Day

Was it hard when Atlanta City Council stifled their consituents' democratic opposition to Cop City and refused to verify signatures? You won't believe how well city council members handled the pressure to follow the law in this latest fluff piece

Every time a citizen has input for the city budget, we ask ourselves, “What would the police union think of this?”

We didn't mention this while we gave ourselves raises, but we're actually overbudget and need to start slashing costs. Except for cop city and the take-home-car program for APD, our two biggest overages for the year.

Nothing excites @andreforatlanta.com more than reneging on promises, delaying MARTA plans, and canceling Atlanta's development plans.

The City Council's and @andreforatlanta.com's animosity towards Atlanta's OIG had nothing to do with the fact that Shannon Manigault was investing them for corruption this past year: www.ajc.com/news/atlanta...
Atlanta inspector general staff refers 8 criminal investigations to DOJ, FBI
Workers requested whistleblower protections in investigations involving high-ranking advisers in Mayor Andre Dickens' office, department heads and public safety leaders.

Our parking deck upgrades did, in fact, call for the council to attend, hold a press conference, and do a photo shoot. What a productive day!
Atlanta just got a little more electric! We cut the ribbon on a brand-new EV and fresh EV chargers at the City Hall parking deck—because even our rides should keep up with the city’s energy! These additions are part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and a cleaner, greener future for ATL.
