Inside Job

Some candidates for city council seem to agree with The Other Dunwoody that there is something fishy with the pre-ordained selection of CH2M Hill to operate the city.

As it turns out the wife (and business partner) of a highly placed participant in the pro-city movement was once employed by this company and lists herself on linkedin as a member of the "CH2M Alumni Association". If you believe this high powered couple hasn't maintained friendly relations with the company and many of its employees then you might be interested in some beach front property just listed on Bunky Way.

The notion that some self-appointed representatives of a possible city-to-be should even issue an RFP was offensive from the very beginning. That they have taken bids and narrowed the choices (to one) is odious. Discovering that a high ranking official of this organization has personal ties to the winning bidder is just more evidence that city governance in Dunwoody will be no better what we had with DeKalb.

It should come as no surprise that this individual is also running for a city council spot.
