Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Mon, Sep 24, 2007 at 5:00 PM
Last week, Fulton County voters overwhelmingly rejected a referendum that would have incorporated more than 96 square miles of southern Fulton County into a city named South Fulton.
“When this election is in the books, I believe that we’ll be seeing Georgia’s next great city; the new City of South Fulton, and as a resident of South Fulton, I look forward to working with my neighbors towards getting our new city off the ground and running on the right foot.â€
— Andre Walker writing on his blog, Georgia Politics Unfiltered, on the morning of the referendum. Walker supported the referendum.
“The voters of south Fulton spoke today. They made it clear they want to have a city controlled by six commissioners who don’t live in south Fulton County.â€
— Benny Crane, an insurance broker who led the incorporation campaign, speaking to the AJC after the referendum’s defeat
“In the end, I don’t have any regrets whatsoever. The people decided and the people will have to live with their decision along with the consequences of their decision far into the future.â€
— Walker in a post on Peach Pundit titled “My thoughts on yesterday’s South Fulton referendumâ€
