May Adds Dunwoody, Brookhaven Town Halls

DeKalb Interim CEO Lee May has scheduled two seperate town hall meetings in Brookhaven and Dunwoody to discuss the county’s governmental operations.

According to the Brookhaven Post, May will meet with citizens on Oct. 27 at 6:30 pm at Dunwoody City Hall, and Nov. 5 at 6:30 at Brookhaven City Hall.

May’s town hall meetings are the latest in a series of crises and controversies surrounding DeKalb’s government since an investigation, conducted by former state Attorney General Mike Bowers and Richard Hyde, was released three weeks ago. It cited widespread corruption and improper spending from many elected and appointed county officials, including local commissioners Kathie Gannon and Jeff Rader, both of whom have responded to the report’s allegations.

The report also called on May to resign.

Last week, May was scheduled to attend the first of his town hall meetings -- this one in Decatur -- but decided not to attend.

Also last week, Decatur State Sen. Emanuel Jones called on May to resign.
