We can’t afford to have your attention diverted right now, when you should be finalizing your battle plans to take our part of Tennessee back.

While you’re at it, make sure you get the part where they’re building the new VW plant.

if we are “visiting our friends in cumming” or taking the kids to stone mountain or six flags or whatever for the weekend we describe our trip as “going to atlanta for the weekend”…

Bill’s right. If a mistake was going to be made, I’d rather it have been on the ballot questions rather than the candidates.

Also, for the record, I have been a front page poster for one of the AJC’s blogs covering the 2004 Republican National Convention.

Space, when is the last time you jogged by a pasture with grazing cows or goats? or smelled freshly split white oak? Some folks aren’t built for living among all the concrete, and Gwinnett gets them half-way to the country.

Johnson should be fired.

The “ball” got dropped, was fully admitted to, and was fully apologized for by Scott Johnson at the last county party executive committee meeting.

He stated that he was concentrating more on the requirements of ensuring that everyone who had qualified for office via the county headquarters, and ensuring that all paperwork was filled-out correctly, i’s dotted, t’s crossed, etc. and forgot to take the packet of questions with him when he went to the Elections Board to hand-in those qualifying candidates.

Yeah, I know, to YOU it was probably more important that the questions get on the ballot than ensuring that the candidates were properly registered.

Mistakes happen, and Scott Johnson owned-up to his.

As Co-Chairman of the Committee that proposed the questions that were voted on and transmitted the the text of the questions that were passed twice, I discovered the questions were not on the ballot when I received my absentee ballot in the mail. I did inquire as to what happened and was told. I will let the powers that be offer the explanation as to how the questions never made it to the ballot.

Rome,

I don’t think GOPeach actually lives in Cobb. Bill Simon does though.

On the actual topic, until heavy rail can accomplish the task of moving people to where they want to go and not just to downtown Atlanta, there is no reason to build it out. The stats used to be that 75% of all Atlanta traffic got off at I-285. That was a few years ago, but I doubt it’s gotten to even 50% that head to Buckhead, Midtown and Downtown. No reason to expend the capital to build something that is nearly useless except for heading to the Braves game. And given Gwinnett is about to have it’s own Braves team, soon they won’t need it even for that.

2. Heavy rail in Gwinnett really makes no sense. There isn’t sufficient density anywhere in the county.

3. What we need: a) More private jitneys – we’re working on this, along with more attractive bus stops; b) a robust, well-publicized web app that facilitates voluntary trip-sharing; c) county-wide zoning that does not allow high-density in areas that are low density. High density should be focused on existing major corridors such as Jimmy Carter, Norcross-Duluth-Sugar Hill, SR 316, I-85, Pleasant Hill, etc.

I’m just that good.

How were you able to figure out that I was talking about you?

Questions 1,3,4,6,8,9, and 11 all demand more government services and or larger govt expenses, and then in question 12 state that their taxes are too high.

Typical. I want more. I want someone else to pay for it.

Giving our power-hungry politicians more of our money to squander, that’s what.
