You know, it's one thing to lose an election when you're out-spent. It's a whole 'nother thing entirely when you're out-spent with your own money. I've long suspected that Fulton County taxpayers' dollars were spent for political purposes regarding whether South Fulton should be a city, but today, I received the smoking gun. Today, I received an e-mail with two attachments showing copies of checks cut by Fulton County Government to pay for an advertising proposal along with a round of radio ads advocating the defeat of the City of South Fulton. For those of you wanting some background information dealing with what I'm talking about, read "$85,500 of mis-used Fulton County funds?" or better yet, just look at the proposal
for the "You Have A Third Option: Broadcast Media Campaign" (PDF File).
Please check out the link as a copy of the checks in question are up on the site. I am not very familiar with this particular story and I don't know what relevance, if any, it has to the overall mess at Grady, however I will stay on top of it and provide updates.

The amount of money is $9,000 not $85,500. No one has demonstated that the county spent $85,500!!!
Be careful when taking Andre Walker's charges against Bill Edwards at face value. He's had a grudge against Bill ever since Bill flipped on supporting the new city of South Fulton.
Take a look at the "evidence" the checks total $9,000 not $85,500. Where's the beef?
