Shake Up on the Way in Dunwoody Politics; Springfield Contributions

If you read this week's edition of The Crier, you know that Dunwoody's political landscape will change in the fall. State Senator Dan Weber's announcement that he will not see reelection has candidates jockeying for positions. State Representative Fran Millar wants the bigger stage that the senate offers - he will run for Weber's vacated spot. Meantime Dunwoody city councilman Tom Taylor is throwing his hat in the ring for the position that Millar has held for the last dozen years. It all seems to make sense. It now becomes intriguing to see who runs for Taylor's spot out of the east Dunwoody district. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Doug Thompson throw his hat in the ring. Doug was beaten by Taylor two years ago. I've gotten to know Doug over the last few years; he'd make an outstanding councilman and would likely have my vote (wait a minute, I can't vote in that district)!

Springfield Contributions

Hopefully everyone in Springfield received a flyer this past Sunday from the newly formed Springfield Neighborhood Association asking for contributions for maintenance of the front entrance. The entrance is in dire need of fertilization and weed control. I did mow the grass Tuesday evening, but hopefully we will have the funds to hire a service in the near future. Please mail your contributions to SNA, 4843 Springfield Dr, or click on the Donate button on the right side of the page. Let's make the neighborhood the best that it can be! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me at bobfiscella@comcast.net or call me at 404.644.5220.
