		<description>I think TVG misses something pretty simple MARTA DOES NOT GO TO CLAYTON COUNTY, so how can it be the source of its decline!!!  C-tran contracts with MARTA to provide bus service (like Cobb, Gwinette).  Cagle had everything riding on getting a transportation bill done, and he blew it.  The business community is FURIOUS.  Without their support ($), he is toast.</description>

		<description>Has anyone answered the question that seems obvious - if the &quot;50/50&quot; limitations were established &quot;from the on-set&quot; (which made sense THEN - with lots of acquisition and construction expenditures planned), why have they never been PERMANENTLY CHANGED to rightly reflect the obvious paradigm shift (new new major purchase of land, equipment or construction likely to occur in the future)? Why is the balance still at &quot;50/50&quot; when it clearly needs to be at &quot;60/40&quot; or possibly even &quot;65/35&quot;? This is just crazy thinking and government log-jamming over power struggles...how sad?</description>

		<description>Just Nasty &amp; Mean,

Yours is the same type of mentality that&#039;s ruining my subdivision.  Our yearly association dues are $360 to support the pool, tennis courts and maintain the entrance landscaping.  However, over the last few years as the older residents moved out and newer ones in, the newbies have refused to pay stating &quot;we don&#039;t use the pool or tennis courts so why should be pay for them?&quot;  These people are too ignorant to realize these facilites enhance their property values.  The pool was recently filled in due to budget shortfalls so only the tennis courts are left.  I feel that as we face continued budget shortfalls they will fall into disrepair.  My wife and I have no problem paying these dues every year even though we don&#039;t use them because it made these facilities accessible for our neighbors and their children.  It&#039;s the same with Marta; if we can get it in Gwinnett I don&#039;t mind paying additional taxes to support it so those not as fortunate to own a vehicle will have transportation.  There may also come a time when I actually might need it due to some unforseen financial hardship.</description>

		<description>Actually TVG, its conservatives that are evasive.  How many times have you used the &quot;Well have you actually read the bill&quot; argument when you haven&#039;t actually read squat?

Has someone been reading her &quot;How to Argue with a Liberal&quot; book, just like a good little Ann Coulter communist?

Guess what.  Saying &quot;Poor people will come on Marta&quot; is class warfare.  I thought Republicans didn&#039;t believe in class warfare?  That&#039;s a fact there TVG, does that meet your pseudo logical conservative tactical play there?

Conservatives are the illogical ones, they just like to put up a false front.</description>

		<description>Tuesday Vandy Girl,

Bryant&#039;s right about you; do you watch the freakin&#039; news?  A few months ago the &quot;Blue Jean Bandits&quot; who had been committing robberies around Atlanta took a van to North Georgia Premium Outlets in Dawsonville to and were caught by police on Ga. 400???  Criminals don&#039;t rely on Marta to get around, if they need transportation they STEAL it; if they want to rob you they&#039;ll find a way to get to you.  Stop being so naive.</description>

		<description>Atlanta has so much potential to be more than just a town to pass through. Public transportation is the key. For the past 30 years, the state should have been a partner in building MARTA to become a world class system. Now is the time for the state to join MARTA as a partner. Atlanta is finding out that it&#039;s going to be difficult to attract tourists or new businesses with limited service. If Atlanta and the state can bring MARTA back and expand it, then we will see this economic hub benefit the citizens of this city and the entire state. The job for the next governor is put transportation at the top of his or her agenda.</description>
