Down with Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Johns Creek, Milton and Chattahoochee Hills...and no Milton County. These areas have been around for years without a charter.
The Georgia Legislative Black Caucus filed a lawsuit against the state of Georgia to dissolve city charters because the state used its own criteria when creating the cities within Fulton and DeKalb counties in order to dilute minority votes in those areas, violating the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution. According to Attorney Lee:

In this case, it’s different because the state actually went outside the normal redistricting process and created these cities that have no meaningful state purpose.”

From the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
