Voting yes won't reduce MARTA fares, and frankly i don't think they are excessive.

Voting Yes and then trying to change leadership doesn't make sense because you've given up your leverage and allowed these leaders to continue another day.

Economic recovery is happening. This isn't Detroit, we didn't lose an industry, even the road industry will have a huge pot of funds via the gas tax.

Granted they are spending it all on I 85.

But isn't it stupid that we took the toll of of 400 when that reasonably should be used to pay for the 285 / 400 interchange project, but instead we are using a tax on essential groceries to pay for this 400 or 500 million project?

... but T-SPLOST just seems corrupt as hell!!

The reason to vote for it shouldn't be to 'create construction jobs' (for all those companies who donated to the vote yes campaigns) - it should be to fix the actual traffic issues.

Perhaps I should have noted that he said that line with a smile.

Posted by America, eff yeah!]]> Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:31:56 -0400 Creative Loafing Atlanta Good catch but let's not let the fact that Crawford Long passed on in 1878 ruin a good story.
(just like stories about the metro region apocalypse if T-SPLOST doesn't pass)

I hear she/he/it is loaded with cash and making it rain!

BTW I guess all of those handicap loaded MARTA vehicles I see picking up the elderly all over town are mirages.

Many of the very elderly are shut-ins and do not drive or use marta, yet this tax takes a bite out of the income they use on food and medications. As a society we can do better than this.
