Happy July 11 to the DeKalb County Cell Tower Warriors!

GET THE CELL OUT - ATL TURNS TWO YEARS OLD TODAY - Happy July 11 to everyone who has ever been involved in the fight against placing dangerous cell towers on public school grounds.

Here in Dekalb County, GA, just outside the great city of Atlanta, today is our official TWO YEAR MARK since the date our school board voted yes for towers with the majority of the residents and parents who would be affected by their decision being left completely in the dark.

Some things have changed ... our entire board has been remove from office, either by voters or by the Governor of Georgia.  That decision is still be reviewed by the court system while our schools are still open and still accredited - they are just being run by a board of mostly political appointees and an Interim Superintendent.

And, some things have stayed the same - we are still largely unsure of the status of these original cell tower contracts, being force to speculate and commiserate as our leaders press onward and somehow evade questions while still smiling and shaking hands.

In a strange turn of events, communities in "Democratic DeKalb" are suddenly so aghast at other issues that are completely unrelated to the school crisis that they are being led by Republicans into a quest for more government.  Democrats are scrambling to write bills to be passed at the state level in an effort to limit their ability to do so.

And, we just completed the school year with fewer graduating senior than ever before.  Great time to turn our attention elsewhere, isn't it?  Well, GTCO-ATL is staying the course as best we can and will continue to keep our community informed.

Thank you to every one who has paid attention, learned about the dangers and voted responsibly.  Please keep up the good work.  We continue to fight because you continue to care!
