My answer is yes, but perhaps not in the way you might think. Jonesboro’s problem is not that we are growing. New investment, redevelopment, stronger neighborhoods, increased business activity, and renewed interest in our city are all signs of progress. Recent population estimates place The City of Jonesboro at a little over 6,000 residents, and while we may still be a small city by population, the responsibilities and expectations of our municipal government continue to… - [One Registry.

One Life Saved.](https://santiafox.com/loganslaw/): Clayton County Launches Logan’s Law Registry to Better Protect Residents with Disabilities By Councilwoman Santia Fox The Jonesboro Bridge Every family deserves the peace of mind that, during an emergency, first responders will have the information they need to provide the safest and most effective care possible. That is why I am excited to share an important update for our community.

If you’ve attended a City Council meeting, heard someone mention the “DDA,” or seen discussions about downtown development, you may have wondered: What exactly is the Downtown Development Authority? More importantly… Why should I care? The answer is simple: Because the success of downtown affects the success of the entire city. Whether you’re a homeowner, renter, business owner, student, or visitor, the health of downtown influences property values, economic opportunities, community pride, tourism, and quality of life. Let’s explore why. What Is a Downtown Development Authority? A Downtown Development Authority… - [The Public’s Filing Cabinet:](https://santiafox.com/open-record-request/): Understanding Open Records Requests in Jonesboro The Jonesboro Bridge…Bridging the gap between residents and local government, one conversation at a time. Have you ever wondered how residents find out how government decisions are made, how taxpayer dollars are spent, or what documents exist regarding a city project? One of the most important tools available to the public is something called an Open Records Request. While the term may sound intimidating or legal, the concept is actually very simple. What Is an Open Records Request? An Open Records Request is a formal request to view or obtain public government records. In Georgia,… - [The Forensic Analysis Is Here:](https://santiafox.com/the-forensic-analysis-is-here/): What Every Jonesboro Resident Needs to Know By Councilwoman Santia Fox Following the release and presentation of the forensic analysis by Plante Moran during the May 28 Special Called Meeting, many residents have asked what the report actually says, what findings were identified, and what those findings mean for Jonesboro moving forward. My goal is to help break down the report in a way that is easy to understand. First Things First: What Was This Analysis? This was not a criminal investigation. It was a forensic financial analysis designed to review specific concerns raised by City Council regarding: Credit card purchases… - [Executive Session Explained: What It Is & What It Means for Our Forensic Audit](https://santiafox.com/executive-session-explained/): What Is an Executive Session?   Transparency. Accountability. Truth. That’s what you deserve—and that’s what I’m committed to delivering. I want to take a moment to break that down for you—because I know this can be confusing, and you deserve clarity. During our Monday night, April 13th council meeting, when the forensic audit update was brought forward, it was recommended by our City Attorney that Council move into an executive session. An executive session is when the Mayor and City Council step out of a public meeting and into a closed, private discussion—but only for very specific legal reasons. Under the… - [April Community Goals:](https://santiafox.com/april-community-goals/): Let’s Grow Together 🌱 As we approach mid April, we’re reminded that this season represents growth, renewal, and new beginnings.

It came from a place of lived experience, reflection, and a commitment to something bigger than myself. For me, it’s simple: Wherever there is a gap, there must be a bridge. What Does “The Jonesboro Bridge” Mean? It means bridging the gap between cultures. It means bridging the gap between communities. It means bridging the gap between government and the people it serves. Too often, we operate in silos—separated by misunderstanding, assumptions,… - [First 100 Days in Office:](https://santiafox.com/first-100-days-in-office/): Leading with Purpose, Delivering with Transparency When I took office as your Councilwoman, I made a commitment—not just to serve, but to lead with intention, transparency, and accountability.

Accountability matters. And most importantly—following through on what has been voted on by your elected officials matters. So let’s talk about where things currently stand with the forensic audit for the City of Jonesboro. What We Discovered On Tuesday, April 6th, during a council meeting, we were informed directly by the Mayor’s office that a $45,000 invoice—which Council officially voted to approve in March—has not been paid. At the time of that meeting, the invoice was already approximately four months past due. Let that sink in. Council took formal action. A vote was… - [Community, Coffee, Tea, and Treats with Me](https://santiafox.com/community-coffee-tea-and-treats-with-me/): Strong communities are built on connection, conversation, and trust.
