District 4 campaign mailer lands Barnes Sutton in a pickle

By Jennifer Ffrench Parker

“He was the one hiding his wife. He thought that black people are racist and wouldn’t accept his wife. He didn’t give the voters enough respect.”

Embattled District 4 Commissioner Sharon Barnes Sutton is facing accusations of race-baiting from some constituents because of a campaign mailer she sent to voters on the eve of the May 24 primary.

The mailer had a photo of Stephen Bradshaw and Diane, his wife of 29 years who is white; painted Bradshaw as a puppet of the county’s three white commissioners – Jeff Rader, Nancy Jester and Kathie Gannon; and said he had voted for former Republican President George Bush.

Barnes Sutton, who has been in office since 2008, got 43.4 percent of the vote to Bradshaw’s 48.4 percent.

DeKalb seeks citizen support for new SPLOST Referendum could increase sales tax to 8%

DeKalb Commissioner Mereda Davis Johnson kicked off the county’s SPLOST marketing campaign at a District 5 town hall meeting on June 13 with the help of Interim CEO Lee May and Chief Operating Officer Zachary Williams.

By Jennifer Ffrench Parker

DeKalb voters may be asked in November to approve another penny sales tax.

The DeKalb Board of Commissioners is set to vote on June 28 on whether to place a referendum for a new 1 percent Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax on the Nov. 8 ballot.

If approved, it will be the second sales tax referendum that DeKalb voters will face this year.

Voters overwhelmingly approved a new five-year 1 percent sales tax for the DeKalb School System on May 24.

If they approve the county SPLOST too, DeKalb’s sales tax will rise to 8 percent.

The proposed five-year 1 percent tax is expected to raise $540 million to fund 31 to 45 projects, depending on how much funding is raised.

The project list, which voters must approve along with the referendum, includes road resurfacing, facility improvements, new or expanded parks, and other capital improvements.

If the referendum makes it on the general election ballot and voters approve it, the revenues will be split between the county and its 11 cities – Avondale Estates, Brookhaven, Chamblee, Clarkston, Decatur, Doraville, Dunwoody, Lithonia, Pine Lake, Stone Mountain, and Tucker – based upon population.

Unincorporated DeKalb is expected to get about $377,769,950. The cities will get $180 million.

The project list recommended by a citizens advisory committee that met between January and April covers seven categories that will get the following amounts:

provide revenues for capital improvements.

With the formation of new cities that claimed their share of HOST, the tax failed to provide enough money to maintain roads, parks and other capital investments.

Both referendums – SPLOST and EHOST – will be on the Nov. 8 ballot.

Both must pass in order for the SPLOST to go into effect.

District 5 Commissioner Mereda Davis Johnson, who kicked off the county’s campaign to market the SPLOST to voters with a June 13 town hall meeting at Lou Walker Senior Center, said her district will get the bulk of the projects coming to unincorporated DeKalb because it is home to the most roads and 1,700 acres of parkland.

She told the 60 people who attended the meeting that paving of the district roads is long overdue.

said.

Instead, Binney said he has wanted to see a debate between the two candidates, but that just as Barnes Sutton has refused to listen to her constituents’ comments, “she refuses to debate ideas and policies with her opponents.”

During the primary campaign, Barnes Sutton did not participate in any candidate forum. She said it was a deliberate strategy and that she had chosen instead to host her own meetings with constituents.

In an impassioned speech to the commissioners, Alison Hepburn, who said she lives in District 4, said she was born and raised in the county and has always embraced diversity starting with when black students were bused to her majority-white school Alison Hepburn during DeKalb’s M-to-M – Majority to Minority – program. She said she that she celebrates building bridges, not walls.

“Recently, I feel like some of the mailers, some of the speeches from my commissioner are building walls – not bridges,” she said.

“One of the main things I want everyone to know that can hear my voice is that doesn’t represent me. That division does not represent me. My commissioner does not represent my heart when it comes to diversity.”

Extending her left arm outward, Hepburn, who is white, her voice full of emotion, asked commissioners to look at her skin.

A hush came over the Maloof Auditorium.

“Here’s a question for my commissioner:

He said he came up in the civil rights movement and marched with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “There I learned what the word Negro means,” he said. “Black politicians are playing the race card.

After the meeting, Barnes Sutton said the people who spoke were part of an orchestrated campaign against her.

“I felt they were misrepresenting the truth,” she said. “They are part of that group that say insulting and derogatory things about me all the time. They were there to make a political statement to influence the runoffs.”

Barnes Sutton said the speakers were trying to create a diversion from Bradshaw’s beliefs, political values, and his plans to be a swing vote on the commission.

She said her campaign mailer said noth-

ing derogatory about Bradshaw or his wife.

“I talked about his political views, his support of the northside commissioners who worked on his campaign, and who gave money to his campaign,” she said. “He is a closet Republican.”

Barnes Sutton said she included the photo of Bradshaw and his wife “because it is unusual for someone who ran the kind of campaign that he ran not to introduce his family to voters.”

“It was a very nice picture of him and his wife,” she said. “I have no opinion other than letting people know that he is deceptive.”

Barnes Sutton said that Bradshaw was the one hiding his wife.

“He thought that black people are racist and wouldn’t accept his wife,” she said. “He didn’t give the voters enough respect.”

Bradshaw, who wrote the 2010 book “Dear Diane: Letters From the First Gulf War” that included photos of his wife, said Thursday that it’s “an absurd and ridiculous notion” that he was hiding his wife.

“Had Ms. Barnes Sutton bothered to show up at any of the candidate forums, she would have had the opportunity to meet my wife on multiple occasions,” he said.

He said Barnes Sutton got the photo used on her mailer from his wife’s Facebook page.

Bradshaw said that he is not a Republican and that he has never voted for George W. Bush or his father.

“That’s a lie,” he said. “I am a Democrat and have been for more than 30 years.”

He also said that he has not been asked by anyone nor has he made any commitment to vote with anyone on the commission.

Bradshaw said that if he is elected, he will vote in the best interest of District 4.

“I will vote the way my constituents want me to,” he said.

“As taxpayers who pay your salaries and constituents who put you in office, we want immediate action.”

Chapel Hill homeowners take fight to DeKalb commissioners

By Jennifer Ffrench Parker

Homeowners from the Chapel Hill community in Decatur took their quarrel with the county to DeKalb commissioners on June 14.

About a dozen homeowners, who are feuding with the county over compensation for damage to their homes from blasting for the county’s $187.8 million expansion of the Snapfinger Wastewater Treatment Plant, mounted a protest outside the Maloof Center where the Board of Commissioners meets.

They walked back and forth on the sidewalk with placards that read, “Stop the Blasting,” “Repair Our Foundation,” “Keep Your Word,” “DeKalb Water Plant Blastings (sic) Damage Homes,” and “Feel Our Pain.”

Through June 2, the county said 128 homeowners had filed claims for damage suffered from the expansion of the plant at 4224 Flakes Mill Road. It said it has reached settlement agreements with 113 homeowners and paid out damages totaling $341,000.

Deanna Fleming, who spoke Tuesday during their public comment session on behalf of the dissatisfied homeowners, asked commissioners what they needed to do to get the attention of those they put in office.

“We pay taxes and DeKalb County is reaping the benefits of our tax money and doing nothing for us,” she told them. “We just want to live comfortably and enjoy our homes without the anxiety and bureaucracy DeKalb County is inflicting on us.”

Fleming, who said her home suffered extensive damage during the first phase of blasting at the site in 2013, said homeowners have been offered less than what is needed to repair the damage to their homes.

“We are not even asking to be compensated for the pain and suffering that we have

had to endure for almost three years.”

Fleming said homeowners have had to endure cleanup costs from water in their basements, from having their homes boarded up for more than two years, and extra monies spent for lighting, heating and other costs because the damage.

“As taxpayers who pay your salaries and constituents who put you in office, we want immediate action,” she said.

Viola Davis, co-founder of the Unhappy Taxpayer & Voter Organization, told commissioners that she attended a meeting of the Chapel Hill homeowners and that the way they have been treated is “totally unfair and borderline criminal.”

She said the homeowners have assessments of the damage to their homes ranging from $13,000 to $40,000 but that the county has offered them a lot less.

“The county told those people to their faces that the most the county can give is $1,500,” Davis told the board. “When the county sends representatives to talk to them,

they say, ‘Oh, we can’t give you $30,000 for damage to your foundation. You know, as well as I do, that if you damage your foundation, you have no home.”

Davis said that the Watershed Department is long overdue for a forensic audit.

“We are asking, demanding a criminal forensic audit of all the departments that fall

up under public works,” she said. “We need a special prosecutor and an extension of the public integrity unit. Until we get that, you all do not deserve another dime of money, especially when it comes to a SPLOST. We need assurance that you are going to take care of the money we are giving you.”

LaVeda Bennett, another Chapel Hill resident, said she feels unsafe in her home.

She said she has ceilings and wall units that are separating from the wall.

Bennett, a disabled vet, said most of the impacted residents are senior citizens, disabled vets or just ordinary people who supported their commissioners.

“So my thing is, I’m here,” she said. “I am a taxpayer. I own a home, You need to make it right, not just my home but the other residents of Chapel Hill. All I am asking is that we be made whole.”

Bennett said she has spoken to Commissioner Larry Johnson, who represents the area, interim CEO Lee May, and others.

“Nothing happens. They say they are going to do this for me but the money they offered … was like a slap in the face.”

Movie on the lawn set for June 23 Residents of DeKalb Commission District 3 will have their movie on the lawn on June 23 at Wonderland Garden in Decatur.

Commissioner Larry Johnson rescheduled the event, which was rained out on June 14. Thursday’s movie screening, which is free and open to the public, starts at 7 p.m. at 3181 Rainbow Drive.

The movie on the lawn was part of Johnson’s June 14 Budget, BBQ & Blan-

kets event. Because of the rainstorm, the budget briefing and a presentation on the proposed county SPLOST was relocated to the Porter Sanford Center.

The movie on the lawn is free and open to the public. Families are encouraged to bring their own chairs, blankets and picnic baskets.

Accused serial killer Aeman Lovel Presley was sentenced in DeKalb Superior Court on June 13 to two life sentences without the possibility for parole for killing a Cobb hairdresser and a homeless DeKalb man.

At a pretrial hearing before Aeman Presley Judge Gregory Adams, Presley, 35, pleaded guilty to all charges connected to the Sept. 26, 2014, shooting death of Calvin Lewis Gholston and the Dec. 6, 2014, robbery and shooting death of Karen Pearce.

District Attorney Robert James had originally sought the death penalty, but Presley agreed to plead guilty and accept responsibility for his crimes.

“I am not a serial killer,” Presley

said in a statement he read in court. “I’m a brother that had some really serious issues and problems who did some things that I’m Calvin Gholston not proud of today. What I did was ungodly, unrighteous, dishonorable and plain wrong.”

James said Presley’s life sentence is an appropriate punishment.

“His actions were monstrous and had severe consequences on the lives of several individuals,” James said. “Although he accepted responsibility for his actions, when a person commits crimes this terrible, he deserves to go to prison for the rest of his life.”

Presley was charged with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony

for Gholston’s death. He was charged with malice murder, multiple counts of felony murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm Karen Pearce during the commission of a felony, and armed robbery for Pearce’s death.

Police have said Presley shot Gholston, 53, multiple times as he slept outside a shopping center near Atlanta on Sept. 26, 2014. A woman who found Gholston’s body told officers he had been living in an alleyway near the shopping center for at least two months.

He then killed Dorian Jenkins, 42, on Nov. 23, followed by Tommy Mims, 68, on Nov. 26 in Fulton County, police said. Both were homeless and wrapped in blankets sleeping on the sidewalk in Atlanta when police say Presley shot them.

Jenkins was shot five times and Mims seven times in what police described as “overkill.” Just over a week later, on Dec. 6, Pearce, 44, was robbed and fatally shot as she walked to her car after a dinner out with friends in Decatur.

Presley’s attorneys Jerilyn Bell and Crystal Bice said they believe Presley has a form of schizophrenia, which may have been a factor in the killings. After his hearing, they declined to comment on the possibility of a plea in Fulton County and said the case there is moving forward. A spokesman for Fulton District Attorney Paul Howard also declined comment.

A victim’s impact statement from Pearce’s parents read aloud at Presley’s hearing said she was studying to become a nurse and wanted to help others. It said Pearce’s mother has nightmares about her daughter’s final moments and described the family as “shocked to the core of our being.”

DeKalb,” she said. “It doesn’t come overnight, but we are working to make significant progress.”

Davis Johnson said that interim CEO Lee May, Chief Operating Officer Zachary Williams and other county officials, who attended the meeting, were there to give citizens a roadmap to the SPLOST. “We are transparent,” she said.

“You can see specific projects and if you have concerns, you can contact my office or the CEO’s office,” she said. “We want you to educate yourself about the projects.”

During the question-and-answer session, Joel Edwards of Restore DeKalb and Kingsridge Home Owners Association asked what type of assurance will voters have that money raised from the sales tax will be spent appropriately. He also questioned why District 5 has $8 million allocated for Covington Highway, which is a state highway.

May said the county will follow the recommendations of the citizens advisory committee to create an oversight committee and hire an external program manager to manage the entire program, an internal project manager and an external auditor that will report directly to the oversight committee.

“We are going to manage our money,” he said.

Davis Johnson said she will make sure District 5 funds are spent correctly.

5th, I am going to be on top of it,” she said.

Davis Johnson said they are proposing to spend money on Covington Highway because it is riddled with potholes and the state is not fixing it.

“It’s in our county,” she said. “It will improve the quality of life for our citizens.”

Other questions centered around the formula used to allocate funds to commission districts and municipalities, why the purchase of police body cameras was in a capital budget, and whether the county is budgeting operations expenditure for projects that will be built.

May said operations will come from the general budget and the state has ruled that SPLOST funds can be used to buy equipment like body cameras for police.

DeKalb NAACP President John Evans wanted to know how the funds would be managed.

“We must have an oversight

group with teeth in it,” he said.

Each commission district is hosting SPLOST meetings to discuss its project list and to get buy-in and feedback from constituents.

District 3 Commissioner Larry Johnson held his SPLOST meeting on June 14. Commissioner Sharon Barnes Sutton is hosting District 4’s meeting on June 18 at 10 a.m. at the Wade Walker YMCA, 5605 Rocksprings Road in Stone Mountain.

Super District 6 Commissioner Kathie Gannon is hosting two meetings on June 20 at Sugar Creek Golf Course, 2707 Bouldercrest Road in Ellenwood, and on June 27 at Central DeKalb Senior Center, 1346 McConnell Drive in Decatur.

Both start at 6:30 p.m.

On June 21, county officials are hosting two SPLOST meetings – one at 2 p.m. and at 6 to 8 p.m. at the Maloof Center, 1300 Commerce Drive in downtown Decatur.

The 2 p.m. meeting will be with

the mayors and administrators of all 11 cities.

At 6 p.m. they are hosting a SPLOST 2016 Open House for citizens that has been billed as an “everything you need to know about the upcoming sales tax referendum.”

The countywide projects include a proposed government center to be built on Memorial Drive to consolidate a number of county offices and save money now being spent on numerous leases.

That project is already sparking opposition.

After her town hall, Davis Johnson said that citizens who want to see the capital improvements must show up to the commission meeting to speak in support of the SPLOST. “We need to hear from citizens,” she said. “The commission needs to hear what you think.”

Rama Amara and Eric Hunter are co-principal investigators in the Emory Consortium for Innovative AIDS Research in Nonhuman Primates seeking a vaccine and cure.

Emory University

Grant supports AIDS research Emory University has been awarded a $35.6 million grant to research a vaccine and cure for HIV/AIDS. A research consortium led by Emory will get the grant over five years from the National Institutes of Health. The new partnership brings together an interdisciplinary mix of investigators with the aim of developing a potent HIV vaccine that produces a broad and sustained immune response.

Investigators in the Emory Consortium for Innovative AIDS Research in Nonhuman Primates seek to develop advanced vaccines that provide sustained protection from retroviral infection. They also aim to refine existing “shock and kill” approaches to eliminate the virus from latent reservoirs in people who are infected with HIV, enhancing the possibility of a cure.

Clayton said the timing is significant.

“It’s important for us to release this single on the first day of summer because it’s fresh and energetic,” she said.

South Korea choir coming to Decatur again The South Korea Gospel Choir is returning to the Porter Sanford III Performing Arts Center on June 25.

The concert begins at 3:30 p.m.

Children’s choirs serve as international ambassadors for the Far East Broadcasting Co. interdenominational Christian ministry.

In March 2014, the children’s choir, resplendent in colorful traditional Korean attire, dazzled the audience with renditions of familiar Christian hymns, Negro spirituals and other songs in English.

The concert included “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” “When the Saints Go Marching In,” and “It’s a Small World,” and the choir left the stage to hug members of the audience and whisper “God bless you” to them.

District 3 Commissioner Larry Johnson had invited the choir to perform on the spur of the moment and promised to bring them back to South DeKalb. The choir returned in 2015, and students also danced and played the Korean stringed instrument “kayagum” and the “buk,” a Korean drum.

The center is at 3181 Rainbow Drive in Decatur. For more informa- The South Korea Gospel Choir will be in concert on tion, email larryjohnson@dekalbcountyga.gov or call 404-371-2988. June 25 at the Porter Sanford Center in Decatur.
