On Mar 22, 2011 at 3:27 PM, Tricia Pridemore sent out an e-mail to “explain” the multiple instances of her lying about her “years” of “grassroots activism.” Her e-mail hasn’t “explained” anything. All it does is point to the possibility of her being more and more of a political sociopath. While she did provide a [...]
What is the definition of a “grassroots activist?” I’m certain most of you newbies think you know what being a “grassroots activist” means.

What is HB 476? Basically, it is for the establishment of yet another government “authority” to run your lives.

Deception #3: “If SPLOST doesn’t pass, your property taxes will go up.” The deception in this claim is that even IF this SPLOST passes, your property taxes WILL likely be going up.

Deception #2: All Projects Are “Necessary/Needs” The pro-SPLOST folks would be sitting on MUCH firmer ground had this list of projects NOT included two (2) special “transportation studies” buried deep in the list of projects they wanted funded.

Deception #1: “It’s just a penny…you can spare a penny to help everyone else, right?” To make sure we are ALL on the same page here about sales taxes in Cobb County, it is important that everyone get on the same page. In order to do that, let us break down for you what our [...]
“For years, SPLOST proponents and County officials have argued that the tax is a “good deal” for Cobb taxpayers because “non-resident spending accounts for approximately 30% of sales tax revenue.” The claim was repeated many times by Rose Wing, chair of Citizens for Cobb’s Future in Wednesday’s debate with Lance Lamberton of the Cobb County [...]
