__”AT LONG LAST, HAVE YOU NO SHAME!!
Lets get this straight. Reed gives Arthur Blank $300 million for a stadium; last week says the city will give Hawks an open checkbook to keep them in the city. But when Peachtree-Pine homeless facility has $400,000 water bill and has $100,000 check and wants to set up payment plan are told their water will be shut off.”
