Henry County Budget It s Crunch Time

It is now crunch time for the Henry County board of commissioners. Facing the legal requirement toproduce a balanced budget for FY2012-2013 the board must make a public proclamation detailing specificsof that budget.

About two weeks before County Manager Fred Auletta spoke before the board in public session expressing

his desire for an appointed citizen panel he called The Citizen editor to outlay the idea. Mr. Aulettawanted honest input about the idea. He wanted to provide absolute transparency for the process he wastasked to oversee. He wanted to hear positive and negative input concerning the anticipated budgetshortfall. He wanted to know what sentiments exist in the communities concerning county revenues andexpenses.

Some folks believed the citizen panel was devised to provide political cover for a property tax millageincrease. Some thought the panel was formed so the board of commissioners could abdicate theirresponsibilities. Neither assumption was true. The role of the panel appointees was no more or less thanto review the county s budget and make known their ideas and opinions to Mr. Auletta.

As the new county manager Mr. Auletta was tasked with submitting a set of proposals to the board of

commissioners. Whatever the proposals include is the result of Mr. Auletta s research and analysis, andwas never intended to be a consummate project devised by the citizen panel.

Mr. Auletta has combed through comments and opinions made by the panel members. He hasexhaustively labored over each of the county s sixty departmental budgets. While acknowledging theboard commissioners in 2011 pruned low-hanging fruit from the budget, he also explains that personnel isthe largest single budgeted item for the county and was the logical place to cut spending whereverpossible.

Personalities and ego notwithstanding, the panel members accurately described the probable property taxmillage increase. Some panel members expressed doubt that certain county programs or departmentsshould exist. One common theme emerged in support of Public Safety as the first priority of countygovernment, and should therefore be exempt from further budgetary reductions.

The Henry County budget of $112 million in FY2011-2012 is about $10 million higher than next year santicipated revenues. That means the FY2012-2013 budget faces three options:

a. Dissolve certain county programs and departments, orb. Increase the property tax millage ratec. A combination of spending cuts with a tax increase

These are the facts. They are not disputed.

We are not alone. Every county is faced with the same reduction in property values about 20% - whichmeans reduced tax revenues across the board. Gwinnett County recently reported a balanced budget andreduction of property tax rates for about 80,000 of their 200,000 taxpayers. The arduous task can bedone.

Among the suggestions for budget cutting are (1) the county transit program, (2) Parks & Recreation, and(3) senior centers. Remember we are facing a $10 million deficit. Completely dissolving all three expensecategories is still below $7 million. And the positive quality of life outcomes that are addressed by eachexpense would no longer exist.


3/12

~ 3 ~

For example, the transit system costs about $600,000 annually or about $10 on the tax bill for a $127,000residential property. Over 7,000 people utilized the system last year with the vast majority of riders beingsenior citizens going to a senior center or a disabled citizen travelling to work.

Senior centers average an annual cost of $1 million each for maintenance and operation. Parks &Recreation accounts for less than $3 million annually. While fees for service remain options, it is notfeasible to dissolve the quality of life afforded to Henry s citizens. While a major goal of county

government is economic development, imagine the outcomes from an Atlanta Journal headline reading,Henry County closes senior centers, disbands parks for hundreds of sports teams. The long term

negative impacts to our economy would not be recoverable.

As an activist, writer and opponent of taxation it is very difficult to grapple with the awesome and difficulttasks that have fallen before Mr. Fred Auletta. In addition to managing county operations through variousdivision and department heads, he has spent two months on research and analysis of a very realbudgetary crisis.

Responsibility for balancing the county budget rests with the board of commissioners. Whether theyreceive applauds or negative fallout will result from the specific decisions they make. The commissionerswill own the FY2012-2013 budget. Neither the county manager, nor finance director make the finaldecisions. How the elected board members determine to reduce spending, or to generate the full $10

million through higher property taxes will certainly affect campaigns for re-election for three of them.

The GOP district conventions were held on Saturday and there is great uproar over events and issuesarising from District 13 convention held at Austell. To make full disclosure, I am a Republican. I live inDistrict 13. I am editor ofThe Citizen newsletter.

Today I received an email reminding me that I should stay out of these issues because I am running forHenry School Board. I was told of the many friends and associates who could be rallied against my

candidacy. I was asked to call Chip Flanegan for an account of the District 13 Convention, and was told bythe District 13 GOP Chair, I am sorry, but on the advice of counsel, I have no comment regarding this.

My response was simple: I have no interest in furthering the ongoing issues between the factions in HenryCounty. I have no interest in hurting the GOP. The letters of complaint of which I have received copies (aseditor ofThe Citizen) are important and must be answered. As 13th Chair, I think you need to speakpublicly.

About my own candidacy, that stands apart from any political opposition that may come from parents andfriends of others who do not want me to address GOP issues. I am running for school board, which is firsta non-partisan post and secondly it is largely not influenced by the regimen of political strategies. TheConstitutionally created school board stands outside political parties for a reason.

Georg i a s D i st r i c t 13 GOP Conv en t i on

The following is excerpts of comments and complaints made by attendees of the District 13 GOPConvention held at Austell. The Citizen acquired permission of the authors to reprint. To-date at leastseven complaints and appeals have been filed.

I j ust got ki cked out of t he 13th Distr ict convention because I called for a point of orderbecause they did not seat our delegates and were seatin g alternat es instead. ChipFlanegan stat ed that his wif e would be executed if she did t hat. I yelled out, Then

execute me! Police tried to carry m e out and I lay on the f loor!

What happened yesterday would have made the Black Panthers proud; what with voter nullification andintimidation tactics Flanegan, Hekmati, and their thug squad of sergeants-at-arms is traitors to liberty and thedemocratic process. In addition to the Austell police, there was several off-duty Henry County police in blacktee shirts with "POLICE" on them.

There needs to be an audit of the 13th District books because she is known to have comingled personal and

RWHC funds in the past and it seems that her Conservative Woman's group is making donations to non-partisan mayoral campaigns. There was nothing in yesterday's debacle that had anything to do with defeatingthe current occupant of the White House. It was all about the self-serving, self-aggrandizement of two of themost dangerous egomaniacal traitors to the American way of life I have ever encountered.

The nominating committee, chaired by Mark Alarcon (an elected official- Stockbridge City Council- who understate rules may not even be an officer in the GOP but is a VP in the 13th) nominated Sahar and a friend of hersand someone from Fulton County. Alarcon's wife is an officer in the Conservative Republican Women- SaharHekmati s organization.

The following is the text of the email sent to Georgia GOP Chairman Sue Everhart:

My husband and I are duly elected delegates from Henry County to the 13th District Convention held in Austelltoday.

We pre-registered and paid with a check for $80 ($40x2) and were issued delegate name badges at the doorwhen we checked in. The agenda was never adopted but the 13th district chair Sahar Hekmati startedfollowing an agenda that was never distributed to the delegates. The call was never read. Shortly after thechair started talking, she said we were in session and asked for the pledge. She then spent about 10 minutesgiving her personal history. I rose to a point of order and asked that the agenda be adopted and we return tofollow it and have the invocation which had been skipped. I was told I was out of order and she attempted tohave me removed for asking that we acknowledge our God. The 2 sergeants-at-arms attempted to remove mebut I had taken my seat and I refused since under Roberts Rules I was not out of order. I was threatened withfelony criminal prosecution by one of the sergeants at arms.

On at least 2 occasions the 13th district chair came to the podium and stated that she had a motion and asecond without ever calling for the same from the assembled body. Once to recess for lunch, once toreconvene. Since we had never officially convened, we could not recess, or reconvene, nor could any motionsbe heard, seconded or voted upon. Never were the individuals identified that made said "motions" or seconds.

After over 4 hours the credentials committee returned and began to seat the Henry County Delegation. Bothmy husband and I as well as at least 18 more of the duly elected delegates were disqualified with no


5/12

~ 5 ~

explanation and alternates and even one guest were seated in our places. Numerous attempts to get anexplanation via points of order were ignored and ruled out of order. There were so many rules violations it isimpossible to enumerate them all.

This was the most despicable miscarriage of democratic procedure we have ever seen or been a party to.North Korea would look like a democracy compared to the travesty perpetrated on the Henry County 13thDistrict delegation today. I am physically sick to my stomach that this could happen in this the greatest country

on the planet.

If our state Republican Leaders do not intervene and nullify this travesty of a convention, we will find itextremely difficult to continue to support the organized GOP with our time and or funds

Various comm ents:

I ve been a Republican for 52 years and today I am ashamed to be a member of the 13th District.My rights to be a delegate was rejected by a power hungry chairperson of the 13th District, I was toleave because I had some literature that someone was giving out at the entrance of the convention.The chairperson said that I could not enter that this was HER convention and I corrected her that it wasOUR convention. She called the police and had me removed. What difference does it make what kind

of literature I have in my possession? I feel that my rights were violated. Give some people power andthey become dangerous.

Let it be said here and now that Chip Flanagan who is a candidate for 13th District House seat wasthe chair of the credentials committee and subsequently appointed convention chair was complicit inthe travesty perpetrated on the Henry County Delegation and upon freedom and liberty itself. He willmake a first rate dictator. I call on all my Republican friends to actively seek to see that this manNEVER holds political office.

Not only were registered delegates not seated, we were not even allowed to speak for a justificationas to why the credential committee did not recognize us. The district cannot change the delegate listthat was RIGHTFULLY elected at the county convention. This is a new low; of course all that made this

happen clearly have very low ethical standards and managed to still slide under that threshold.

I went to the site of 13th District convention on Saturday, 4/14/2012; however, I was not able to attendthe convention. After I completed my convention registration, I returned to the parking lot to distribute

to convention attendees a document that stated how the 13th

District rules were in conflict to the stateparty rules. I have attached a copy of this flyer for your review. As I was passing out this information, 2police officers approached me and told me that upon instructions from the 13th District Chair, I was tostop passing out convention materials, and if I did not neither I nor any attendee who possessed thisflyer would be allowed to enter the convention hall. The police officers told me that I was not violatingany city, county, or state laws by passing out the flyers.

I promptly stopped passing out these flyers and placed them inside my vehicle. Afterwards, I returnedto the convention hall, and was stopped at the door by the Sergeant-at-Arms, Patrick Kelly, ChipFlanegan, and Sahar Hekmati. I was asked if I was passing out f lyers, and then I was told to leave by13th District Chair Sahar Hekmati. I asked if I was violating any 13th District rules or 13th DistrictConvention rules; however, I received no answer. I asked for my refund for my registration, since theconvention had not yet started and my request was denied by the Sergeant-At-Arms. During my Q&Awith the Sergeant-At-Arms, Mr. Chip Flanegan began to harass me, until I turned around and left. Due

to this harassment, I completed a police report with the Austell Police Dept. Case # 313, received byOfficer Koutlas.

My experience at the convention was not something I would expect from fellow Republicans. I ask thatthe Georgia Republican Party and its Appeals Committee respond to the issues that exist in the 13thDistrict and to the problems that rose from the 2012 13th District convention.

And this one:

To: Georgia State GOP Executive Board13th District Executive BoardAll Republicans

I attended the Georgia District 13 Convention today and was totally embarrassed by themismanagement of the Convention, the lack of following State Rules, and the lack of following RobertsRules of Order (current edition.) As a delegate, and the grandfather of the President of the newest TeenRepublican club in Georgia, I was appalled at the action of this austere group of so-called leaders,especially since I invited my grandson to be a guest.

First of all, the simple organization of the event was poor to say the least. The process registration wasslow, the incident at the front door of not allowing people to enter because they received anunauthorized handout supposedly on the convention site outside the building, the placing of

refreshments in the same room as the Credentials committee, not giving everyone an agenda, theCredentials committee taking three hours to verify delegates, serving a $6.00 lunch and charging $30for it and for hiring local police to do the bidding of the Convention Chair, and much more added to thedispleasure of those attending. However, those are not my real concerns.

First of all, the appointed temporary convention chairman, Chip Flannigan (sp?), called for a vote toaccept the agenda. The Nays definitely, by a 2 to 1 margin, did not want to accept the agenda thathad already been compromised. I requested a division, as well as many others, to do a head count ofthat motion, and was denied, which irritated a majority of attendees and me. He definitely did not rule in

favor of the majority of the body of those present.

Secondly, at no time was a Chairman for the convention voted on. I believe the delegates to theConvention elect the Convention Chairperson who will rule over the convention. Without an electedChairman of the Convention, I do not believe in its validity. No motions were allowed from the floor,except at the end, to close nominations, and to close the convention and many who stood to berecognized on points of order were either not recognized or were removed from the convention for whatwas considered a disruption. Even my grandson, who should not have spoken out as a guest, was


7/12

~ 7 ~

removed on the first violation. I believe all points of order are to be heard according to Roberts Rules ofOrder.

There was a very inappropriate remark made by Chip Flannigan (sp?), Appointed Convention Chair,when he responded to a woman s remark. He told the woman that if she was in his wife s country oforigin, she would have been executed. Where does anyone get off with such a remark? He also madea snide remark, when an individual asked for a point of information and requested the restatement of

the convention strength by County. His remark was something to the fact that, "If you want to go over itagain and waste more time, okay". It took less time to restate the strength of the convention, than it didlistening to his babbling.

Based on rules of the 13th District, which are in conflict with Georgia GOP rules, I believe aninvestigation should be undertaken by the State Executive Committee, as to the validity of ourConvention.

Incidents like these, and the arrogance of our leaders, is why so many shy away from the party. We aresupposed to by an all-inclusive organization, and not lambs led by the elite clique . I am sure that Saharwill be voted out of office next convention, but until that time, we need to follow the desires of themembers as long as they fall within the confines of the State Party Rules. We were here today to

LEGALLY elect three delegates and three alternates to the National Convention. We should always doso under the legal rules. If these are in conflict with the State rules, it could have been addressedquickly and had the issue put behind us.

Respectfully,

Richard L. RadzikDelegate

I have spoken with some school system employees who shared concerns about compensation. Ihave been told that system rank and file has not had a pay raise in four to five years. However,central office staff has received compensation in form of raises and/or bonuses. Specificallymentioned were department heads and office staff at the county office..

I have requested a listing of employees, by job titles, who have received either pay raises or bonusesduring FY2010-2011 or FY2011-2012.

Here is the response provided:

The Administrative Salary Schedule was on the agenda for the November 14, 2011 Boardmeeting, due to a re-organization that resulted in the elimination of four central office positionsand the addition of three. The four positions eliminated were: Assistant Superintendent,Coordinator, and 2 Directors. The three new positions of Executive Officer were added to thesalary schedule.

I believe some individuals read this agenda item on eBoard and incorrectly assumed that all HenryCounty administrators received a salary increase. Board of Education employees have not receiveda salary increase for three consecutive years. The exception would be employees that transferredto another position in which the pay grade was higher than the previous position. For ex: anAssistant Principal moving to a Principal position.

I trust this answers the question.

Next month HCBOC Chairman BJ Mathis will tell you that your property taxes must be raised inorder to avoid layoffs of our police officers and firefighters. This is a lie.

As taxpayers, we want our elected officials to cut all unnecessary spending before taking thedrastic step of raising our taxes, right? And, most reasonable people agree that public safety isone area that should never be sacrificed unless absolutely necessary.

But that s not what s happening and I can say with certainty that the Board of Commissionersare in fact about to raise our property taxes in order to close the budget gap. They simply arenot serious about cutting unnecessary spending.

If they were, they would not have just done this.

On December 19, 2011, the HCBOC PURCHASED (p.14) the property formerly owned by

Peachtree National Bank. It is located at 5 3 0 H I GH WAY 2 0/ 8 1, west of I-75 across from AnimalControl.

The price? MORE THAN HALF A MILLION DOLLARS. $547,000 to be exact.

The Citizen wants to make perfectly clear that this depiction of the LEADERSHIP at the HenryChamber of Commerce is considered factual. The executive director of the Chamber launched acampaign against Rep. Steve Davis because his conservative principles would not allow him to carrylegislation that failed to protect the citizens of House District 109. The executive director has evendemeaned Rep. Davis during new member orientation.

Since Rep. Steve Davis took office he has refused to simply do as he is told by the high-and-mighty. He has

consistently served and protected taxpaying citizens regardless of the attacks he has received because of thesestances. The Double Standard from Chamber and their puppets is appalling. Rep. Davis s conservative voting

record and his tireless efforts on behalf of taxpayers simply not accepted by the Gimme-Your-Tax-Dollars forour agendas leadership at the Henry Chamber. Ironically, Rep Davis has 100% rating with the Georgia

Chamber of Commerce that has praised him for his work to reduce taxes and regulations on the businesses ofthis state. He has also had the support of National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) for his

positions to protect small business.

Thi s depiction of t he Cham ber s leadership D OES NOT mean to l um p all 700 + Cham ber

m ember s wi th the polit ical action s of th e executi ve di r ector . Numerous examples existwherein the executive director has depicted her position and role as representing over 700businesses in Henry County. As recently as her letter to the Henry Legislative Delegation beggingopposition to charter school legislation gave the impression that all the members also opposed thelegislation.

That legislation passed both the House and the Senate setting a national standard for education. Theconstitutional amendment will be decided by Georgia voters on the November ballot. Whether youbusinessmen and women support or oppose state funded charter schools, it is doubtful that all 700+members agree and desire to be lumped into the leaderships agenda.

That type of illusory so-called leadership should give the entire organization question about how theyare represented.

Re-Elect Rep. St eve Dav is - a rea l Conserv at iv e w i t h no s t r ings a t t ached!
