COVE - Lakeside Expands to Include Victoria Estates View this email in your browser Join COVE Facebook Website Email Contact the Georgia Senate Today! Martha Pacini and Carl Lange - February 6, 2014 Politics are moving very rapidly and yesterday's inclusion of Victoria Estates and surrounding neighborhoods into the proposed Lakeside City boundaries came as a surprise to opponents. Senate Bill 270 is being reviewed now by the Georgia Senate Rules Committee before being sent to the Senate floor for a vote. COVE has remained engaged at the Capitol and the addition of Victoria Estates and surrounding neighborhoods was made with no transparency including any communication to our neighborhood by the Lakeside Initiative. If you wish to voice your opinion, it is imperative that you contact the committee members this morning!

The bill was not on the published committee agenda, and it was only yesterday morning that opponents of the bill learned that it would be considered. The approved map shows Victoria Estates and surrounding areas being included in Lakeside. Based on yesterday's activities, we expect it to be passed through the Rules Committee and sent to the Senate floor for a vote in short order. COVE continues to monitor activities closely for any updates, including any explanation as to the last minute inclusion of Victoria Estates in the proposed city boundaries.   Copyright © 2014 Citizens of Victoria Estates (COVE), All rights reserved.
