This month's Council dog brought us Mamma Bear! She had a litter when brought to Lifeline, hence the name.

I don't get any joy from variance hearings discussing what people can and can't put in their backyards. I would rather work on items that will move Chamblee forward, such as sustainability and comprehensive plans. However, this is the local government and part of the gig. These hearings are the only chance we have to ask questions, and they are often direct. I will say that the questions may be probing, but they are not personal. They are never personal. We are trying to gather all the facts to find an equitable solution for the applicant, the City, and the rest of the residents of Chamblee. Sometimes, this is easy to accomplish; other times, it's very complicated.
