Today in DeKalb we have a primary election for State House and Senate seats, and a special election for Tax Commissioner. You've seen the signs all over Dunwoody and you've probably already found the websites and social media so I trust most people reading this have made up their minds. Now make it count in the booth. Your opinion doesn't help if it isn't recorded on a ballot.
We also have a vote on (yet another...) E-SPLOST. The one you heard about in the news where Superintendent Green wants you to approve the money first, then tell you what it's going to be spent on later.
Compounding this backward planing was a DeKalb Schools robo call last night that was supposed to be merely informative, yet claimed that voting in favor of E-SPLOST would result in capital improvements to "your" childrens' school.
The contradictions are obvious to citizens, but apparently not to most of the school board or to Dr. Green so let's spell them out.
1) The appeal to improving "your" child's school is bogus without a project list.
2) The call was made using the DCSS' automated calling system - the same one used to distribute weather closing alerts and requests to follow up on truancy reports if your child is late or absent. That means tax money was used to persuade parents to vote a certain outcome in the election. That's illegal, kiddos, but since when has that stopped you before?
I'm headed out to Crossroads Baptist as soon as the garbage is on the curb and my cup of coffee is down. Every vote counts and every person has an impact today.
