Jim Walls at Atlanta Unfiltered, muckraking extraordinaire and recent Best of Atlanta recipient, has some excellent posts with a transit twist on two state lawmakers. One of them also deals with public toilets. We know it's early, so read at your own risk.
First, there's Rep. Doug Stoner, D-Smyrna, and his emplyment with an engineering firm that's conducted work for MARTA.
Then we have Rep. Jill Chambers, R-Dunwoody. On Saturday, the lawmaker told MARTA board members they could lose their seats if the transit agency signs a $160,000 annual contract with a lobbying firm.
