Ugh! Dickens appears to have taken thousands of dollars from the Affordable Housing Fund and used it to pay consultants who pushed for his TAD renewal initiative.

Atlanta has spent more than $370,000 on consultants tied to Mayor Andre Dickens’ Neighborhood Reinvestment Initiative, records show. Some also advocated publicly for the plan without disclosing their financial ties.
NRI consultants failed to disclose financial ties and were partially paid through Atlanta’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund.
