Officials oppose major tax break for Sembler project Opposition to a proposed tax break for a major development in north DeKalb County is growing, with officials from local and state government leading the charge. A school board member asked his peers Monday night to oppose the deal requested by Sembler Co. while a state legislator held a rally across town to organize opposition to a substantial tax break for the developer. And Jeff Rader said he is planning to ask his colleagues on the County Commission to oppose the tax break at their meeting Tuesday.

The tax break, worth an estimated $52 million, would waive all property taxes on the undeveloped half of the company's 54-acre mixed-use project near the Brookhaven MARTA station. A couple of residential towers are up, but the company says it can't finish the mixed-use shoppi AJCFor giraffe, boy stuck his neck out Eleven-year-old Harrison Pineda doesn’t like to read, but he loves giraffes.Because of his severe dyslexia, Harrison also doesn’t enjoy writing, but he recently wrote a 12-chapter story about Lewis, the newborn giraffe at Riverbanks Zoo.Scholars for centuries have taken stabs at explaining why animals inspire people, but Harrison puts it as succinctly as anyone.“I have no idea whatsoever,” the bubbly youngster said before deciding he likes Lewis because “he’s cute.”Tutor Gillian Barclay-Smith has been working one-on-one with Harrison for months, stressing reading and writing with a purpose. Nothing seemed to get through to Harrison until, during a home-school student program at Riverbanks, he heard about Lewis’ recent birth.

State lawmakers earlier this year passed a bill that lets school boards keep taxes collected within a geographic area, which is known as a tax allocation district. School district officials noted the bill allows it to keep $18 million — $12 million raised from the Beltline TAD and $6 million from the Perry/Bolton TAD, located in northwest Atlanta. School officials said they need more revenue, pointing to $9 million in state education cuts to the district and a projected $6.4 million less from property taxes that have slightly hurt the district's operations.
