Buckhead cityhood group
claims political interference
By John Ruch
A feasibility study required
for the Buckhead cityhood
movement to move forward is
underway at a university that
the local advocacy committee
declined to publicly name,
claiming that other schools
were politically pressured not to
conduct the study.
The Carl Vinston Institute
of Government, a prominent
program at the University of
Georgia that conducts such
studies, says it declined to take
on the Buckhead project, but not
due to political pressure. An anti-
cityhood group also dismissed
the claim as “conspiracy
theories.”
State Rep. Darlene Taylor
(R-Thomasville), the chair of
a Georgia House committee
overseeing the study process,
says there may just be confusion
about which schools to use and
that the Buckhead group is
proceeding at its own risk with a study it may have to redo later.
The pro-cityhood Buckhead Exploratory Committee (BEC) is at the start of a two-year
quest to have the neighborhood leave Atlanta and become an independent “Buckhead
City.” State law requires a feasibility study detailing the local impacts of cityhood. Bill
White, BEC’s chairman and CEO, said that “we’re deep into the feasibility study and it
should be done in six to eight weeks.”
But, he said, that is happening only after a rejection from one school and “writing on
the wall” from three others. White said the BEC commissioned the study from a different
institution in Georgia, “which I’m not going to be telling who it is ... [because] the more
information out there, the more the city of Atlanta organized opposition tries to obfuscate
the government business.”
White said his suspicions of meddling began at a Buckhead Council of Neighborhoods
forum in May with Linda Klein, a cityhood opponent. Klein, who co-founded the anti-
cityhood group Committee for a United Atlanta (CUA), said in that forum that four
universities known for cityhood studies “all are unwilling to do this study.”
Klein did not respond to a comment request, but fellow CUA co-founder Edward
Lindsey said White had made similar statements to him. “I said, I didn’t do a damn
thing,”’ said Lindsey. “If he wants to play conspiracy theories, so be it.” QD
