[VIDEO] Mike Russell on Committee for a Better Atlanta (CBA) Forum

The CBA hosted a Forum with all the (intending) candidates for Atlanta City Council President and District Seats as well as Mayoral candidates.

Besides having a chance to introduce themselves, candidates got questions about rising crime, improving the effectiveness of the City Council and helping small businesses recover from the impact of the COVID19-pandemic.

Watch some of Mike's straight talking answers:

"Public safety is the first responsibility of government" "The [budgeting] process is broken" "One of the biggest problems facing [business owners] is the back log of the city approving permits"

The Committee for a Better Atlanta (CBA) is a coalition of businesses and civic organizations whose mission is to foster a healthy business environment by advocating a common business and civic agenda to policymakers as well as citizens.
