There’s one more scheduled East Cobb Cityhood debate, next Wednesday, May 4, at Pope High School.
It’s sold out for in-person attendance, but Blaine Hess of the Rotary Club of East Cobb, which is sponsoring the event, said it will be shown via livestream on its Facebook page for those who can’t be there in person.
The debate lasts from 6:30-8 p.m. in the new auditorium on the Pope campus (3001 Hembree Road).
And like the previous debate on April 19, the second forum will include representatives of the Committee for East Cobb Cityhood and the East Cobb Alliance, which opposes the referendum.
As we reported earlier today, a Cobb judge has ordered that the East Cobb, Lost Mountain and Vinings referendums take place as scheduled on May 24, after lawsuits were filed to try and stop the votes.
Cobb Superior Court Chief Judge Robert Leonard ruled that he would hear the suits on the merits after the referendums, a day after the chairman of the East Cobb Cityhood group filed a motion to intervene as a defendant in the East Cobb lawsuit.
Advance voting starts Monday for the referendums and Democratic, Republican and non-partisan primaries begins on Monday; click here for details.
