Fulton County Commissioner Bill Edwards didn't like it when fellow Commissioner Liz Hausmann suggested they self report the board for violating the Open Meetings Act.
Although Deputy County Attorney Larry Ramsey Jr. said having four members of the Fulton Board of Commissioners attend a town hall meeting where county business was discussed made it an official meeting, most of the commission didn't want to hear that. Commissioner Liz Hausmann, who asked the board to self report the unintended violation to the Georgia Attorney General's office to protect the county, explained the meeting was adverstised as a town hall meeting to discuss legislation that the Fulton legislative delegation had proposed that puts limits and controls on the commission. "It was advertised as one thing, and three other commissioners showed up. So did the county attorney, county clerk and communications department," Hausmann said…

Commissioner Liz Hausmann said she was in favor of legislation by Alpharetta, Milton and Johns Creek lawmakers that also would redraw commission district lines that would add another North Fulton member.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted today to oppose temporarily capping the county's property tax millage rate, doubling the homestead exemption rate and giving North Fulton more representation on the commisson. Liz Hausmann is the only commissioner who solely represents North Fulton. Commissioner Tom Lowe's district extends from Roswell south until it's well inside the perimeter. Hausmann, the District 3 commissioner, voted against the resolution. "I am in favor of the proposed new commission districts as it brings additional representation to North Fulton that is long overdue, and complies with the important concept of one man one vote," said Hausmann, the District 3 Commissioner. "I also think the legislation that provides …

The city will renovate the historic Hopwell House for its use as a community center.
Milton will be getting a new senior center with $295,000 in funds from Fulton County, thanks to Commissioner Liz Hausmann. Hausmann's action put the funds into the county budget for operations of a Milton Senior Center, saying it will add much-needed senior services in North Fulton. "I am glad to have this opportunity to add to the quality of life for older adults living in the Milton community. There is definitely an unmet need for quality senior programming.

The District 3 Commissioner had to hold constituent meetings at coffee shops and restaurants in North Fulton before this.
Fulton County Commissioner Liz Hausmann didn't hold an open house just to show local residents her new office. She also wanted their blood. The District 3 Commissioner said the area has a severe shortage of blood, so she arranged for an American Red Cross bloodmobile to be outside of her office for the 4-hour festival that accompanied her open house. "I want to raise awareness of the critical shortage of blood this summer," she said. Contact the Red Cross to help them, she said, because it's a critical need in the summer months. Most Fulton County agencies were represented at the event, including the Fulton Tax Commissioner's office, Fulton County Registration and Elections and the Fulton County Youth Commission. "I think it's very …

It is shocking and intolerable for Edwards to turn to name calling in a clear attempt to demean and condescend equal residents of the counties he is supposed to represent! Is he reflective of the people of his district and his obvious disdain for N. Fulton residents? How dare he label us "podunk" (Webster's: Unimportant, Isolated), Commissioner Edwards--Just who in the hell do you think you are? … more ›
