Another Legislator: Only GOP-Backed Cityhood Bills Will Be Considered – North Druid Hills-Briarcliff, GA Patch

If a bill for the creation of a new city in the North Druid Hills-Briarcliff area is to be considered by the state legislature next year, it’s likely going to be the one written and submitted on behalf of the Lakeside City Alliance, a Dunwoody legislator said Monday night.

And that bill’s Republican support will be key, said Dunwoody state Rep. Tom Taylor.

“None of these are even going to get a hearing except for [the Lakeside City Alliance’s],” Taylor said after an alliance meeting before roughly 70 residents from the Evansdale Elementary School area.

Taylor, a Republican, was instrumental in the creation of city of Dunwoody and served on its city council until he resigned to run for his House seat in 2010.
