Atlanta ends referendum consulting deal with former clerk after $910K paid City attorney recommends new safeguards for consultant contracts after reporting by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Did anyone expect Andre Dickens, @andreforatlanta.com, to be a sophisticated purchaser of consulting services? The city wastes $1M wastes to oppose a popular referendum while pleading poor. #AtlantaWay www.ajc.com/news/2026/02...

Courtney English, Andre Dickens’ chief of staff, cannot even wait a week after MLK Day to go back to saying he doesn’t believe Atlantan’s have civil rights

Atlanta City Council and Andre Dickens cannot be trusted with city funds. Ignoring voters demand for Beltline Rail, inability to deliver simple projects, and shutting down the OIG over the allegations against @andreforatlanta.com cannot be ignored

Does non-violent protest have a legitimate place in a democracy? While many of council members disagree with his politics, we will choose to look past our differences and celebrate this MLK Day

We are committed to building out Entertainment Districts in every neighborhood of Atlanta. This is a more important issue than affordability, food access, and childcare to our core constituents (real estate developers)

Addressing complex and challenging problems like MARTA that impact Atlantans’ lives? Sorry, we just do ribbon-cuttings

Atlanta City Council questions Mayor Andre Dickens' budget for FY26 Dickens administration aims to cut about 150 city jobs this year to help make up projected deficit.

Despite @andreforatlanta.com, we still believe the city government should do more than fund APD’s wish list and cut ribbons

Was it hard when Atlanta City Council stifled their consituents' democratic opposition to Cop City and refused to verify signatures? You won't believe how well city council members handled the pressure to follow the law in this latest fluff piece

I'll take it back once there's shovels in the ground (and I'd love nothing more than to be proven wrong)

Every time a citizen has input for the city budget, we ask ourselves, β€œWhat would the police union think of this?”

Will @dougship.bsky.social's legacy on City Council be anything more than standing in the way of beltline rail, destroying the Welaunee forest, and expediting the removal of trees in Atlanta?

We didn't mention this while we gave ourselves raises, but we're actually overbudget and need to start slashing costs. Except for cop city and the take-home-car program for APD, our two biggest overages for the year.

Atlanta Mayor Dickens pulls support from Streetcar East extension onto Beltline Mayor Andre Dickens no longer supports extending the Atlanta Streetcar onto the Beltline, senior staff said Thursday.

Nothing excites @andreforatlanta.com more than reneging on promises, delaying MARTA plans, and canceling Atlanta's development plans.

Remind us again why we paid for his Rivian and a charger at his house?

Here are some highlights from this week’s Small Business Minority Breakfast! Our current mayor, accused of illegal activity, got to convene with former mayor, Bill Campbell, who has already been convicted of fraud to share advice!

We promise we didn’t do anything illegal, but please don’t look too closely!

Atlanta inspector general staff refers 8 criminal investigations to DOJ, FBI Workers requested whistleblower protections in investigations involving high-ranking advisers in Mayor Andre Dickens' office, department heads and public safety leaders.

The City Council's and @andreforatlanta.com's animosity towards Atlanta's OIG had nothing to do with the fact that Shannon Manigault was investing them for corruption this past year: www.ajc.com/news/atlanta...

Our parking deck upgrades did, in fact, call for the council to attend, hold a press conference, and do a photo shoot. What a productive day!
