It’s really pathetic how Ms.(corrupt) lisa borders is now selling herself to the highest bidder for an endorsement. It’s all about what reed and norwood can do for her. She is no different from the ex-mayoral-candidate that she alleged was trying to bribe her for his endorsement. Thank God Almighty she did not make it to the runoff’s.

How many types of businesses can you really start with $10 or $15k?
Few if any.
I would prefer other ideas.
Now Rob Pitts had the rotten idea of asking banks to give foreclosed homes to policemen.
Pitts open up YOUR wallet and give first, but I digress, he was at least on the right topic as
I think it would be a great idea to have the city co-sign for these polcemen, firefighters and
deputies. If they default the homes can go back to the city to sell.

The microfund is a great idea and in fact there is one in place to serve minority and those in traditionally underserved parts of Atlanta. It was formed under the aegis of AHAND 10 years ago and has grown to independence in the last 2 years. It recently received CDFI status. This is not a new idea, but is something that anyone seriously running for mayor should be aware of. For more information, please contact Marvin Bryant at the Atlanta Microfund 404.525.8418

Smoke free bars kill revenue you idiot. If you want to be in a smoke free environment stay home. Or get over it and realize it’s a bar. That decision should be up to bar owners and bar owners only not the government. The government need not make decisions for people all the time leave it up to the comsumer to dictate policy. If you want a smoke fre bar so bad and you think it could make money then open one and find out. Otherwise leave the bars alone and let them make some money, they already can’t stay open late enough.

How about smoke-free bars, Ms. Norwood or Mr. Reed? ….. Every major city except us has done it …. even some SMALL cities in the South.

Thank goodness for the grammar police. Without him I may have not ever known what Jim was talking about.

Jim, the woman’s name is Borders. The possessive is Borders’ or Borders’s. I wouldn’t bug you about this, but you’re a professional writer, and you did it twice.
