No Money Down! We'll Pay Off Your Loan No Matter How Much You Owe! Your Job Is Your Credit!

Now we know what all the hurry is about. Very recently the command staff has been running around like chickens with theirs heads cut off, redesigning precinct boundaries and trying to find buildings the county can purchase to house the precincts.

Some of us were scratching our heads, wondering, where is all the money coming from? They can’t pay us for holidays, they force us to work for no pay, but yet the county has money to spend on new precincts?

Now the truth comes out. Burrell Ellis, had a back up plan. You see, just like a crack addict, he can’t fight his addiction of borrowing money and raising taxes. He must have figured the taxpayers would not go for spending 36 million dollars on a glorified strip mall when everyone is broke. So in the background, he has been scheming to spend the money elsewhere.

So he figures, hey, if I say I’m spending it on public safety, (on buildings mind you, not equipment or paid holidays) then the public will fall for it. Well guess what Mr. C.E.O., the taxpayers are not falling for it. You wanted to raise taxes to give public safety a raise and you were shot down. Why do you think they would approve something as crazy as this?

Especially when they learn the building you want to buy for 5 million dollars at Stonecrest Mall is the abandoned car dealership of one Malcolm Cunningham. Ah, who is Malcolm Cunningham you ask? The same Cunningham who contributed to Burrell Ellis’ campaign for C.E.O.

The same Malcolm Cunningham who owns a Ford dealership on Peachtree Industrial Blvd. Why is this important? Because Cunningham Ford now does all the preventive maintenance on all the police cars. Hmmmm, funny thing, we can’t find where Cunningham bid on the contract.

The taxpayers of DeKalb County already owe nearly 950 million dollars, almost 1 billion dollars in bonds. And now you want to borrow an additional 36 million so you can take care of your buddies?

Just to remind you Mr. Ellis, our pay is getting cut one third for the month of November. That’s one third. We don’t need no stinking buildings, we need our normal pay!
