GA GOP Kills Wealthy Homocon’s Bid To Split Atlanta

Atlanta’s NBC News affiliate reports:

Buckhead will not become its own city this year. Georgia’s Speaker of the House, David Ralston, basically killed the bill in the legislature Friday. Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan came down officially against Buckhead cityhood. Ralston said Friday, if the Senate won’t take it up, there’s nothing the House can do.

Just two weeks ago, Bill White, the leader of the Buckhead cityhood movement, promised to flood the halls of the state Capitol with his supporters. “We will be deploy(ing) down to the state Capitol starting this Monday, speaking with legislators, explaining our position and asking them to give us the right to vote,” White said.

Bill White recently appeared on JMG when he launched a super PAC to unseat the ten Republican House reps who voted to impeach Trump.

You may recall the 2018 New York Times report on how White and his husband abandoned a lifetime of liberal advocacy to join the cult.

In 2010, White paid a $1 million settlement in a New York state pension fund pay-to-play scandal related to his time running the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum.
