It makes more sense to allow Smyrna to annex further south. The GA legislature blocked a new city's ability to run its own school district (which is what Mableton needs most IMO). If no police or fire is provided then what is the point? I am fine with having my trash picked up by a private company.

We need this to block the proposed Smyrna annex. Smyrna only wants to annex the high dollar properties on Cooper Lake - leaving the rest of Mableton as the armpit of Cobb County. Either they annex it all or Mableton should have that high tax base...not Smyrna. It is time Mableton becomes more than just an afterthought.

The citizens of Mableton needs to decide on city and/or annexation which is another proposal I saw. I agree we need more services like having centralized trash collection. Too many trucks in various neighborhood. In addition, we need more vigilance on code violations in Mableton. Veterans Memorial especially need code enforcement for businesses to keep their properties exterior inn good repair and property properly groomed.

I do not see the need to make Mableton a " city ". This will end up costing the residents and businesses money and provide little if tangible benefit. All of our needs are presently met by the county and if we need better services or more of them then the county can gear up to provide them. If more revenue is needed then that can be addressed. I personally would like to see more police. This bill does not provide for that and I would not support yet another police department when our money can be used to simply enlarge the existing Cobb County Police. Creating " cities " is merely empire building and duplication of services. This tactic exists all over Georgia, every little town thinks it needs it own police and court system. It cost the residents a lot of money for something the county can already do. I do not support a city here.

After reading UGA's feasibility study I am in favor of Mableton becoming a city. I would encourage anyone opposed to the idea to read the same study. I do not want us to be sucked up by Smyrna.
