[LCN Newscast] Dekalb bond referendum Nov. 8

[newscast@lists.lakeclaire.org]

There's a  bond referendum vote on Tues., Nov. 8, for residents of 
unincorporated Dekalb county .
It has 3 components:  library improvements, roads and sidewalks, and 
parks and  greenspace projects.
Each issue may be voted on separately.

The library portion would fund 3 new libraries, expand 4 existing ones, 
and finance 5 new replacement libraries, including the one at Toco 
Hlls.  As residents of Atlanta-Dekalb, Lake Claire neighbors may be 
members of both  Dekalb Co. and Atlanta-Fulton County libraries.
Not only will this referendum pay for buildings, it will buy books and 
AV materials, which may be reserved on line county-wide and delivered 
to the branch of your choice.

  The greenspace portion of the referendum should be of particular 
interest to Lake Claire folks because it includes funding for work at 
Deepdene Park, which is in our neck of the woods, as well as nearby 
Mason Mill park and Little Creek Farm Park.

If passed, the bond will add less than $100 to the tax bill for a 
$300,000 house.

Turn out may be light at the polls on Tues., so your vote could really 
count.
