Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! Today, former Roswell City Council members Nancy Diamond and Steve Dorvee join us to discuss the letter they - along with 19 other former elected officials - sent to the current mayor and council demanding change and transparency.
They'll dive into the now-public letter - hand-delivered to City Hall on August 6 -signed by 21 former elected officials demanding greater accountability from current Roswell leadership. At the heart of their concerns: vast tree removals on the historic Mimosa Hall & Gardens site, and what Diamond - speaking at the press conference alongside others - called "a city in crisis at a critical crossroads."
Nancy and Steve will discuss the broader ramifications: erosion of public trust, transparency in budgeting and land-use decisions, and calls for independent third-party audits on city contracts, spending, and development promises. They'll also reflect on the significance of these issues heading into Roswell's upcoming municipal elections this fall.
Tune in for an episode that brings local values and politics into sharp relief.
