Councilor Kunz Unashamedly Joins Forces With Developers Against His Constituents

August 19, 2017

The old cliche is that a picture paints a 1000 words.  The photos below were sent to us by a citizen.  They clearly show where Council Member Kunz’s loyalties lie.  It is crystal clear that Mr. Kunz has unabashedly joined forces with developers.  Mr. Kunz has long been a shameless advocate for developers in Milton, helping them bend, break, and change the rules for their benefit.  Citizens, if the photos below cause you concern, then please consider becoming engaged in local government.  Write to City Council.  Come to a City Council meeting and express your dissatisfaction with the influence of Special Interests.  We need to take back our city government from the developers and other Special Interests that exert far too much influence over our City Council.  Please get involved.

Following is an advertisement for a January 2017 event where Council Member Matt Kunz was the guest of honor/VIP.  He delivered a speech and swore in members of the Board of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association (GAHBA), which engages in significant lobbying on behalf of developers.

Following is a photo (taken in January 2017) of Council Member Matt Kunz swearing in the Charlie Bostwick, the new president of the Greater Atlanta Home Builder’s Association.  Disregarding his duty of judicial impartiality, Kunz aggressively and publicly promoted Mr. Bostwick’s proposed subdivision in the Spring/Summer of 2016.  Was this speaking and swearing-in gig payback for his strong advocacy on behalf of developers?

Following is a photo of Council Member Kunz hobnobbing with executives of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association.  At the time this photo was taken, Mr. Ellis was a long-time registered lobbyist for the GAHBA.
