    The Douglas County GOP holds its monthly meeting this Saturday, 8:00 am at St. Julian’s Episcopal Church,
    5400 Stewarts Mill Rd. in Douglasville. Everyone’s favorite French breakfast cuisine (Chick-fil-a) will be first come, first served.

    Ms. Marsi Thrash, of Citizens for Transportation Mobility will be the featured speaker. She will discuss the upcoming July 31 vote on the T-SPLOST, the list of transportation projects and answer questions.

    Just for fun, Politifact Georgia rates recent statements by Citizens for Transporation Mobility as mostly Half-True.

    And who knows…maybe The Mayor will make an appearance.

    Come One, Come All.

      I’m uncertain, but I don’t think “mostly Half-True” is a politifact rating.

      its mostly “half true”

      Not mentioned are all the “false” ratings that statements from the opposition drew, naturally.

      This one, from a Tea Party T-SPLOST opposition leader was so egregiously false that I gotta recycle it:

      “We already pay a gas tax, a percentage of that goes to MARTA and we’re not even served by MARTA.” Director of the Bartow County Tea Party, Gail Engelhardt

      Well, ya gotta admit, the first five words were truthful.
