Homeowner participation matters. Without it, the public record is often shaped by management-company lobbyists rather than residents.

DeKalb residents were overwhelming pleased that Commissioner Ted Terry held an informative Data Center Town Hall, but there were a few criticisms.

- One Stone Mountain resident said the Town Hall seemed like soft-marketing in favor of datacenters (paraphrasing).

- Another resident said the Commissioner promised an hour for public comments and then used their time to filibuster criticism.
Attached is a list of concerns East/South DeKalb residents have voiced that are sometimes overlooked.

The State Election Board has added two additional special presentations to the November 12, 2025, meeting agenda and has also added an Executive Session.

The meeting will be held at 9:00 a.m. in Room 307 of the Coverdell Legislative Office Building (CLOB), 18 Capitol Square SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30334, and will be broadcast live on the State Election Board's YouTube channel.

Why doesn’t Stone Mountain have runoff elections when other cities do?

Because local power brokers changed the rules — our city elects officials by plurality, not majority. That means whoever gets the most votes wins, even if most voters prefer someone else.

It’s a system rigged to protect conservative control even though conservatives are outnumbered 4-to-1.

Result:
1️⃣ Voters think they’re voting for change but enable the status quo.
2️⃣ Elections become strategy games, not contests of ideas.

When people say “revitalization” — who’s being revived, and who’s being removed?

Gentrification isn’t just about rising property values. It’s about reshaping who belongs — and using police power to enforce that change.

When long-time residents become “suspicious,” and public spaces become “private investments,” policing shifts from protection to control.

Community safety shouldn’t mean displacement, escalation, or silence.
It should mean belonging, fairness, and shared space for all. #fafo🌆✊

So few people voted in recent elections, at least two Republican-aligned candidates are on the Stone Mountain City Council.
