With November 30 runoff elections fast approaching, Coalition advocates invited candidates for Mayor and City Council President to pledge alignment to our mission.

With early voting in progres, only political newcomer Doug Shipman has stepped up to the challenge.It’s past time to end the City’s wrongful assessments of $28M annually.  Doug Shipman fully shares tthe goal of endng the problematic waste fees before February 1, 2022.

In the November 30 runoff election, Shipman opposes seasoned veteran politician Natalyn Archibong--now City Council Member and Utilities Committee chair.

Doug Shipman’s ready to change these games that just don’t make sense for residents. Doug gets it. It’s wrong for a city to collect $28M annually for services they don’t and shall not supply. It’s wrong to require 53k+ property owners to pay for services they don’t--and could not--receive. 

 Is it right for 53k property owners of Atlanta's commercial, industrial, retail, office, religious, institutional, and multi-family properties.across every City Council district to pay retirement benefits for long-retired workers? What about for operating landfill sites that closed decades ago? Of course it isn’t!
