Once again the real problem is missed. First, eliminate all these “transportation agencies/authorities” and create one Transportation center for Georgia. Dam other states do it and they make us look like country fools. Second, create a statewide transportation tax, like all of the Northern states do, that will be utilized for transportation projects only through the general assembly. Third, understand that we are trapped on expanding interstates because of poor planning, plan better with a Statewide approach, create laws that prevent homes and business from being built right ontop of our roads. Fourth, please do the right thing, get rid of GRTA. It has become Governor Perdue’s dumping ground for stupid campaign givers. Thanks Perdue, you have allowed Anderson to do nothing but barely show up for work, and for Ritchey to continue to steal money from the Region for a service that should have already been turned over to the Counties or Marta. Do the right things as we move forward, Take the Transportation Trash Out, Clean the Transportation Gutters of OLD crap (current Leaders) and pave a new means of transportation options for the PEOPLE OF GEORGIA, NOT JUST GOVERNOR PERDUE’S FRIENDS.

Do we need to give to a greasy-looking politico like Glenn Richardson any power at all, much less power over the lower house of our state legislature and over how we move to solve transportation problems in our state?

It’s likely not to be particularly noticed, but the most revolutionary change Republicans will have wrought under the Gold Dome is on the verge of becoming law. It’s the shift of power from the Department of Transportation to elected officials. If successful, it is truly the end of an era that was in its heyday under the legendary highway czar Jim Gillis, a former Treutlen County commissioner who served in both houses of the General Assembly and who reigned from 1948 to 1955 and again from 1959 to 1970 as state highway commissioner.

A Rookie President

By Thomas Sowell

Someone once said that, for every rookie you have on your starting team in the National Football League, you will lose a game. Somewhere, at some time during the season, a rookie will make a mistake that will cost you a game.

We now have a rookie President of the United States and, in the dangerous world we live in, with terrorist nations going nuclear, just one rookie mistake can bring disaster down on this generation and generations yet to come.

Barack Obama is a rookie in a sense that few other Presidents in American history have ever been. It is not just that he has never been President before. He has never had any position of major executive responsibility in any kind of organization where he was personally responsible for the outcome.

Other first-term Presidents have been governors, generals, cabinet members or others in positions of personal responsibility. A few have been senators, like Barack Obama, but usually for longer than Obama, and had not spent half their few years in the senate running for President.

fearless fosdick, boring over here? No, because I don’t have to constantly point out how stupid you idiots on the left are. 90 plus bloggers? You can not be serious because out of 120 comments on one blog belong to 10 bloggers. Go back over to Bookmans blog and root him on in his new venture to clean Chris Matthews toilet.

Jim, you need to start paying more attention to China. President Teleprompter is about to hand over the USA to them.

Is Sister Sarah in town? Where are the moonbats? Or are they handing out tax breaks at the State capitol for businesses again? I hope so because as a citizen I really aapppreciate the oppertunity to financially support the business community and their infrastructure costs. It is only less enjoyable than having the politicians send my gas taxes to rural Georgia to four lane a dirt road.
