Summary

With the recent surge in violence over the last year seen in major cities across the United States, Buckhead, Georgia is leading the charge to fight back. Bill White, one of the organizers of the movement for Buckhead to secede from Atlanta, says it began as an effort to repair the ‘ruined relationships’ by the ‘ Defund the Police Movement’ between the city of Buckhead and ‘their beloved police families’. The new city will be hiring ‘250 police officers’ for its new police department and vows to have the ‘highest paid police officers in the State of Georgia’. Currently, the effort has ‘two bills in the Georgia Assembly and Senate’, which organizers are confident that ‘the governor will sign those bills when they pass this upcoming session’. That will then put a ‘referendum’ on the ballot for November, 2022, to be voted on by the, ‘58,000 legally registered voters within the Buckhead city map’, which residents of the greater Atlanta will not be eligible to vote on. White, explained that the movement is increasingly popular with residents, pointing to a recent poll conducted showing, ‘72% would vote today’ to approve the measure to secede from the city of Atlanta.
