Casey and the Senators will not override the Governor’s veto, thus sparing Sonny’s ego.
They will, however, take my advice and hammer out a supplemental between the Governor, House, and Senate leadership, then call a special session to get it approved quickly.
They should still override.
[UPDATED:] Correction here: Casey does not think thre are the [...]

The Albany Herald yesterday had this one sided story about a proposed 1200 megawatt power plant. The article is practically a press release for Environment Georgia. The story on WALB’s website was no better.
How about getting a quote from the people who want to build this plant? How about a [...]

I’m going to steal a Joel McElhannon email without asking him and pretend it is my post on this subject. (I’ve actually asked, but haven’t heard back, and I’m impatient)

Candidates who legitimately live in [...]

Rumors are that circulation will be down again at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
One of those sources tells us that the AJC will beat the pack — and record a 5 percent drop in Sunday circulation. No word yet on what the daily numbers will show.
The newspaper industry has long been in a cycle of decimating news [...]

The NAACP has gone after Robert Brown for failing to work on a slavery apology. For his part, Robert Brown calls such an apology insulting.

….Don’t starting picking out new furniture for the Speaker’s office just yet.
The left-of-center Georgia has been a buzz over the coming collapse of the Georgia GOP from infighting between the Governor, Lt. Governor and Speaker of the House. Georgia Democrats are salivating at the prospect of a GOP meltdown that will whisk them into [...]

Remind me again why we apologized for eugenics? Stuff like this drives me irrationally crazy.
The protest was intended to focus attention on two issues: a requirement that able-bodied residents of public housing either work 30 hours a week or attend school; and the pending demolition of the last remaining public housing projects, which are [...]

This is about as Georgia as it will get for Fred until he announces

From the AJC:
New York — Delta Air Lines got clearance from a federal bankruptcy judge Wednesday to complete its grueling 19-month Chapter 11 case, which is expected to be officially closed next week.
At an afternoon hearing in Manhattan, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Adlai Hardin confirmed Delta’s reorganization plan, which cuts the airline’s debt nearly in half [...]

A friend of mine sent me this video, I put up on YouTube for your viewing enjoyment.

This one…I made. My first shot at making a video.
If Cagle fails to deliver on this tax break, I imagine the first campaign videos in 2010 looking something like this (well, they’ll be, you know…good).

From the President Pro Tempore:
I believe that the next best thing to do is place any funds beyond the short-term critical emergency needs into the State’s reserve (or savings) account. It always has been the Republican philosophy that surplus funds in the budget should be used to fully fund our reserves, and then used [...]

“Lead on this issue. Govern. If you just get off your high mule and reach out . . .you might be surprised”
Dear Sonny,
You could just not call a Special Session. After all, FY’08 begins on July 1. There is not a lot of time between now and then. To call [...]

According to Inc. Magazine:
Business is booming in Savannah.

Aside, perhaps, from sending mass emails with the subject header “The most important letter I’ve ever written to you.”
