Typical of Shirley "there's never been a tax or fee increase that I don't love" Franklin's administration. If she was unaware of the situation with the so called code enforcement office, after she did become aware of it, she should have refunded this guy's money. If she had been running the city properly, the destruction and vandalism wouldn't be happening like it is. She bears alot of the responsiblity for the blighted neighborhoods, some of which are less than one mile from the heart of downtown Atlanta. Some of these neighborhoods are 40% boarded up and there is not an ounce of copper in any of the vacant houses. The vandals will steal $20 of copper and leave sometimes $35,000 in damage. It is a disgrace and Shirley should be ashamed of her record.
