Snellville crematory receives state license
The Georgia State Board of Funeral Service has issued a license to Chris Nuzum to operate his crematory in Snellville. I found one of the pieces of documentation that the state board reviewed quite interesting:
On Tuesday, the Georgia State Board of Funeral Service reviewed his application, the inspection report and the certificate of zoning issued by Snellville before giving Nuzum the go-ahead.
If the city has already issued a certificate of zoning, why is Councilmen Robert Jenkins still raising the question of whether the location is appropriate for a crematory? Furthermore, if there is such a major concern about the health and environmental impacts of a crematory, why didn’t the council undertake its current research before creating a zoning code that permitted such a use in that location?
If you had any doubts that the council was acting out of pure politics, those doubts should be fading by now.

This case is illustrative of Robert Jenkins’ entire political career. He is so focused on being a contrarian; on disagreeing with Mayor Oberholtzer at every opportunity that he cannot bring himself to acknowledge the obvious. As a result, he will look like a fool, make the city look foolish and maybe even incur unnecessary expense for the taxpayer as he panders to his fellow fogies.
