Is the City of DeKalb postponing action on its consultants’ recommendations for political or other selfish reasons?
When the financial consultants known as Executive Partners, Inc. (EPI) first came to town in 2009, the City of DeKalb made a big deal of them. DeKalb needed to show it was doing something about its financial mess, and at that point it seemed reasonable to blame the economy instead of city administrators.
Officials implemented some of the EPI recommendations and proudly showcased the accomplishments.
This time around is very different so far. I will describe the differences and share guesses about what motivates them.

To be fair, the Bush economic crash of 2008 has devastated most governmental units and many businesses. One can’t solely blame the city council for the economic situation they face. Unless we have a recovery, the falling revenue will continue to squeeze them.
