No, not that.
Not that one either.
This time, it’s for regional high speed train service:
Undeterred, Isakson is about to reach across the aisle again, this time to John Kerry, the Democrat from Boston. The purpose: A revival of this country’s rail system, which — with luck — could give birth to a high-speed passenger train that [...]

Paging the legislature. Paging the legislature.
according to study after study, rather than improving motorist safety, red-light cameras significantly increase crashes and therefore, raise insurance premiums. In fact, the only studies that have shown any benefit to red-light cameras were either done by the IIHS…the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, or researchers funded by them. [...]

You mean a road project took into account costs?
Truck lanes proposed for a toll road project on I-75 in Cobb County have dropped off the table because the project grew so expensive, its developers said at a meeting at the state Department of Transportation Thursday.
That developer team and five others who propose toll projects for [...]

Some moron complained to the City of Atlanta and the DOT that “Men at Work” signs are sexist and must be changed. Naturally the government told the lady they agreed instead of telling her to get back in the kitchen and take her shoes off — the truly appropriate response to this silliness.
The change [...]

Just ask Fulton County Commissioner Robb Pitts:
Fulton County officials are about to test residents’ commitment to libraries with a proposal to raise property taxes to pay for a huge building program. Depending on the final numbers, Fulton residents could be asked to raise taxes as much as 0.4 mills to pay for bonds for [...]

Environmentalists nationwide are celebrating Monday’s Fulton County Superior Court decision they say will make it harder — if not impossible — to build new coal plants. Judge Thelma Wyatt Cummings Moore’s ruling is the first in the nation to anchor coal-fired power plants to global warming.
In her 19-page order, Moore invalidated a [...]

I’d normally read a story like this one:

The state Environmental Protection Division recently approved the South Eastern Land Services project, which is seven miles from a planned regional water supply reservoir set to open in 2014. It’s the third such business within a half-mile area.
Officials say the landfills won’t affect the water quality because they [...]

Traffic will be a nightmare.

As part of the I-75 widening project at Oakridge Bridge in Tift County, Georgia Power Company and Colquitt EMC will be relocating transmission and distribution equipment over and on either side of I-75 in Tift County between mile marker 57 and 58. To allow for the progression of this utility work, [...]

Here are some pictures of the damage in Macon.

Power bills are going up in 2018.

Georgia Power said on Wednesday that its customers’ bills would rise $12 a month starting in 2018 if the utility gains state and federal approvals to build two new 1,100 megawatt nuclear reactors at Plant Vogtle near Waynesboro.

You know, only France has a lower increase in greenhouse gas emissions [...]

A road project completed ahead of schedule and under budget?

While the widening of a portion of Riverside Drive has inconvenienced some businesses, the road work is set to be completed early and under budget.
One of Macon’s main roads, Riverside Drive has been widened to five lanes - with two driving lanes and a center turn [...]

At least that’s what I’ve called it for these many months every time I saw that enormous crater where the Bryan Street Parking Deck (adjacent to Market Square in downtown Savannah) used to be. Now, though, the new underground parking deck is scheduled to be open within two months, according to The Savannah Morning [...]

I just can’t get upset about these funding cuts. I have full faith in the museums, particularly the Sports Hall of Fame, to be able to fundraise and get up the money needed to sustain itself.

The basic message from Atlanta is clear for the Georgia sports and music halls of fame: Wean yourself from [...]

DOT leader quits to pursue colleague is how the Augusta Chronicle covers it with a straight face. Again, it does seem this morning that the relationship started after the vote, so there should be no worries there.
The real worries come from the pissed off legislators who are now going to have to go through [...]

To follow up on the story, isn’t this refreshing?! We have ourselves a media story about two love birds that doesn’t actually involve one cheating on his or her spouse. Apparently that only happens if you are in the General Assembly. This is just good wholesome non-cheating.
Good for the love birds. [...]
