The possibility of a secession from the city of Atlanta became a little more likely this week as the affluent area of Buckhead continues its attempt to peel off from the crime-ridden inner city. Two bills that would allow Buckhead to secede from the city passed a Georgia committee Monday and could be up for a floor vote as soon as Wednesday (tomorrow).If both chambers of the legislature approve the bills, and they are subsequently signed by Governor Brian Kemp, residents of Buckhead - the 24-square-mile area on the edge of Atlanta - would be able to vote in the November 2024 election about whether to leave Atlanta and form their own city.
