News Sen. Johnny Isakson talks water, transportation, economy at APC
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Tue, May 12, 2009 at 6:10 PM
U.S. Sen. Johnny "Sleepy Eyes" Isakson, R-Ga., spoke to the Atlanta Press Club today. Maria Saporta and the AJC's Kristi Swartz wrote great summaries of his talk and details on what he said about commuter and high-speed rail, water woes and the changing economy — which he says might take five years to recover. Isakson also said the closing of the Hapeville Ford Plant might have hurt the region's chances for the Atlanta-Lovejoy rail line.
Grayson Daughters was also there and has a video of Isakson's talk. Check it out below.
