Fryhofer Atlantan to chair the American Medical Association While local debate simmers, the necessary Georgia General Assembly legislation to move ahead is dormant amid controversial statements by the BCC and legislators’ improved relationship with Dickens. The cityhood effort emerged in late 2020 in response to crime concerns. Those include the results of a BCC poll conducted eight months ago, a.k.a., a political lifetime Dickens failing to win a majority of Buckhead votes in his December election, which is not the same as current job approval after he won and is in office and non-binding questions on the Republican and Democratic primary ballots about support for cityhood and for citizen referendums, which at best emphasize cityhood is a GOP red-meat issue. The BCC made other criticisms that are themselves misleading. The amount of respondents is indeed the lowest among several polls conducted by both groups over the past year. The pro-cityhood Buckhead City Committee (BCC) called the CUA claims “false and misleading.” The BCC criticized the 380 respondents as too small a sample. CUA co-founder Billy Linville apologized for being “unable” to provide that information, but would not say whether it exists or is being withheld for some reason, calling that question a sign of “hostility.” CUA co-chair Edward Lindsey did not respond to requests for the information. However, the CUA would not release the raw data for the poll. The CUA says the poll also showed Mayor Andre Dickens – who has pledged to defeat the cityhood movement by better serving Buckhead – is rated “excellent” or “good” by 55 percent of voters.

The CUA claims the poll showed 61 percent of Buckhead voters want the neighborhood to remain part of Atlanta and 30 percent support separate cityhood. The Committee for a United Atlanta (CUA) announced the poll on June 9 in an email to supporters, saying it was conducted May 21-25 with 380 respondents. But the results could not be confirmed, as the group refused to release the raw polling data, and cityhood supporters say it is invalid.
