Thanks for the news!
Pine pellets? Sounds great. In the meantime, thankfully we have a source of significant power at Vogtle.
Did you just call me “achromatic?” You’ve never even HEARD me sing!
Well as long as Roger Goodell says we should get a new stadium, everything’s ok right? I guess we should collectively bend over and pull the money out of our wazoo.
Mark Rountree (ATLANTA)—Landmark Communications and Rosetta Stone Communications released their final joint poll of Georgia voters Monday on the Georgia Charter Schools Amendment and the Presidential race in Georgia. The poll was by commissioned by WSB-TV Channel 2 Action News.
GEORGIA CHARTER SCHOOLS AMENDMENT
The battle for the Georgia Charter Schools Amendment continues to be very close, with
46% of Georgians saying they will vote for the Amendment and 43% saying they will vote against. Opponents have gained ground since our last joint Landmark/RosettaStone survey published on October 26, with opposition rising from 37% on that date to 43% today. The election has moved from a 10-point margin to a 3-point margin in the closing days of the campaign.
Opposition to the Amendment is strongest outside of Metro Atlanta where the Amendment is losing by a 41-44% margin (-3%), yet the Amendment currently leads inside of Metro Atlanta 51%-41% (+10).
Concern for supporters will be that there remain twice as many undecided voters outside of Metro Atlanta than inside of Metro Atlanta (15% to 8% undecided, respectively), and that geographic area is moving in the direction of opposition to the Amendment.
Looks like the split amongst GA voters on Charter Schools is about as wide as the split in the TEA party over Charter Schools.
The findings by the Australian judge against S&P’s ratings process should be read by every jurist in America.
Accountability that impacts so many investments is important.
No more polls, mainstream media & comedians conjecturing and maybe the legislators will get busy overhauling the tax code – reality suggests the floggings will continue.
