@R_A_Belcher Not enough information to be certain. And, I don’t know what the law might stipulate. I’m noticing the mention that he was on the path his daughter takes to school. What does that mean? Was he walking her to school? Does that suggest innocence? Do they teach that in journalism?
@R_A_Belcher The county can finance with GO Bonds (General Obligation). That may or may not require a vote of taxpayers. Rev Bonds don’t require a vote, maybe. DO NOT read the words of the constitution. The courts have rendered it all irrelevant or worse since the financing of Truist Park.
@R_A_Belcher As I see it, the Authority doesn’t decide if a jail gets built. They decide whether it is to be funded with Revenue bonds. If you read the text of the state constitution “Debt Clause” and “Revenue Bond clause”, you would conclude they can’t do it anyway. BUT, the county can ….

@R_A_Belcher@JonahDispatch State law prohibits bike on sidewalks except for children. Millions of dollars for new sidewalks and bike lanes and minimal uses for either.
@jc_bradbury A phony study? That would never happen. See tax abatement three or four years ago as “incentive” to build a new Kroger store in East Cobb.
@dwickert Tinkering with tax system almost always is intended to produce more revenue. Replacing property taxes with a sales tax appeals to those who typically don’t understand property taxes and have no idea what they pay in sales taxes in a year.
