TAD Legislation being pushed before audit is even completed
The Mayors office is reportedly planning to introduce TAD extension legislation as early as Monday, before the City Auditor even finishes reviewing how existing TAD money has been spent.
How are you supposed to approve more years of public financing without a completed audit of the current program? That’s not transparency. That’s not accountability. And it sure as hell isn’t democratic.
The mayor’s office trying to jam this shit through before the public gets answers is exactly why people don’t trust City Hall.
If you live in Atlanta, call or email your City Council member TODAY and tell them to:
- Delay any vote on TAD extensions
- Wait until the City Auditor completes the review
- Release the findings publicly before asking for more taxpayer commitments
Atlanta residents deserve facts before a vote, not backroom urgency and political pressure.
