Atlanta Republicans Want Separate City and Police Force for Wealthy
"One of Atlanta's richest and whitest neighborhoods is moving to secede from the city and incorporate its own community amid what hardline Republicans have described as a direct response to the city's crime rate.
On Monday, a Republican-led committee in the Georgia state Senate voted 4-3 along party lines to support a measure to decide whether the community of Buckhead—which represents about 45 percent of the Atlanta's property value—can secede from the city.
