CEO Candidates Lorraine Cochran Johnson, Steve Bradshaw, and Larry Johnson answered questions at a candidate forum sponsored by the Civic Association Network (CAN) on March 21, 2024. Moderated by Mary Hinkel. All three candidates are Democrats. No Republicans are running. In the absence of a runoff, DeKalb County's next CEO will be chosen in the May Democratic Primary. Please vote. (Forum shot on an iPhone 14Pro, sans tripod.)

Thanks for the recording. I wonder though why the organizers could not have each candidate have their own mic. I hope no one was contagious.

It was organized by a small group of volunteers and held at a county senior center, which probably doesn’t have a lot of equipment available.

Audits have always been public on the website. The problems continue because we don't have an Internal Compliance department that would have the authority to enforce the Auditors findings. Policy and procedure is key in any successful organization.

Re: Police - This appears to be a financial issue. If we have too few officers not being competitively paid, increase the salary and the numbers of officers would appear to be a compounded problem. While morale is important, it would seem to close the gap. What are the top 3 tangible financial options the County has to approach a solution? (Backdrop: Few police quality police would appear to lead to more crime and undermine economic development, and therefore the tax base to increase numbers and/or salary.)
