The county continues to waste taxpayers dollars

In 2007, the county sold the South Precinct building and land at 1816 Candler Road in anticipation of leasing the abandoned Toys R Us building at South DeKalb Mall, 2842 Sheppard Drive. Until the new precinct was renovated, the county leased the building at 1816 Candler Road from whom they sold it too.

With the county facing financial difficulties, it has now put the new precinct on hold and extended the lease at 1816 Candler Road. Silly question, buy why sale the building before the renovations of the new one?

Oh, and the cost of the lease? $199,194.00 per year. Another one of Vernon's great minded financial deals the citizens of DeKalb are stuck with.

What happened to the lost millions from recorders court? Is there and investigation ongoing? Is it being swept under the rug? Dale Russell should be on the case.

Wonder if anyone has mentioned that the building at 1816 Candler Rd that the county is paying almost 200k a year for is also condemned? The building is falling apart.
