Were the subject local elected officials, I would have to point to the recent leadership of Mayor Bill Floyd. His magnanimous and productive response to the defeat of TPLOST portrays a man whose seamless blend of passion with reason is rarely seen in our leaders.

Mayor Floyd? Decatur precincts support of TSPLOST? Frustration with current Decaturites? Current Decatur leadership? Wanderlust?

Where will you go for life after Decatur? Hopefully, you are not looking forward to life after life already.

That’s actually pretty high for a low profile July primary election. Turnout in city elections is usually only about 25%. Turnout for the Presidential election in November will probably be about 70%.

You are correct. GRETA was Roy Barnes’ answer to regional transportation planning. It also would have a seat at the land use table. The first Executive Director was Dr Catherine Ross, a nationally recognized transportation planning expert. Another Sonny Perdue legacy is that is has been reduced to an operating agency with no teeth.
