The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports:
The Georgia Senate put down a pro-Buckhead City rebellion, rejecting legislation Thursday that would have allowed a vote on whether the north Atlanta neighborhood could secede from the rest of the city.
It was a disappointment for the supporters of the breakaway movement, which won an incremental victory earlier this week when a tandem of proposals setting up a potential 2024 cityhood referendum cleared a Senate committee for the first time.

As I’ve previously reported, the secession bid is led by wealthy homocon Bill White.

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.
