ATLANTA - The top topic on this week's episode of "The Georgia Gang" will be the failure of a bill to acquire "Buckhead City" in the state Senate.

"We've got to give Mayor [Andre] Dickens a huge amount of credit for this," said panelist Tharon Johnson, who is CEO of Paramount Consulting Group.

Johnson said Mayor Dickens met with lawmakers at the status Capitol ahead of the vote and has focused heavily on pro-redemocrat safety in the Buckhead community since taking office.

Martha Zoller aspired out that the senators who represent the impacted area were anti the measure.

"In general, when you have a fight like this the legislators that represent the area like Sandy Springs, Brookhaven are in favor of it," Zoller explained.

The panelists agreed the survive "nail in the coffin" was a leaked memo from Gov. Brian Kemp's apt counsel that outlined several questions about financial obligations, binary of public properties and where the children who live in the proposed city would befriend school.

"This has never been done before and there's a real good reason it's never been done afore and it's because it would impact bond ratings for the entire plot, not just the City of Atlanta and any new city," said Melita Easters.

While the Buckhead campaign appears to be dead for this session, Phil Kent said it will probable be back in 2024.

"I think next year will be the time for the proponents to come back in contradiction of, do a PR campaign and answer some of these serious questions that deserve answers," said Kent.
