If all memorialized public figures were held to the standard applied to FDR by Calvin, then we could end this BS practice of naming roads, buildings, bridges, parks, community centers, etc. after them. Instead of wasting time and money on inane issues like this and proclaiming red clay as the official GA dirt, maybe they could actually spend a little time reforming education.

Gosh, Bart, you don’t think requiring every school district to spend at least 65% of their revenue “in the classroom” will turnaround the abysmal public education this state is known for?
Wow! Where’s your undying allegiance to our Governor and the state legislature?

Why not 70%, 80%, hell let’s just spend the entire bloated $30B state budget on govt. education so all teachers can live on W. Paces Ferry while the 50% dropouts do their landscaping. This truly has been one of the most disheartening legislative sessions in recent memory, but at least we will have an official dirt come April.
Republican majorities on the state and federal level remind me of the Braves pre-1991…”wait til next year”.

“$30 billion state budget???”
Interesting…’cause it was about 4 years ago that the budget was only $16 Billion.
Are you saying that since Republicans have taken control that our state budget has nearly doubled in the span of 4 years? Or, are you talking out of your rear-end, Bart?

According to former Senate Majority Leader Bill Stephens who participated in a legislative town hall last week, the state budget is about $30B when you count all revenue ($18.6B reported number does not include everything).
If you disagree with the number, I suggest you contact Bill.

I have no interest in talking, seeing, or listening to Bill Stephens. That guy can barely operate a checkbook, much less juggle a budget number.

OK, State Senator Chip Rogers was there as well and agreed with Bill. Of course you will probably go off on Chip for being a sign stealing thug to assault his character.
Who do you support these days Bill? Is there anybody holding elected office that meets your incredibly strict standard of conduct?

Bart, one person I DON’T trust is you, or your knowledge.

That makes it a mutual understanding…we are making progress.

So, you don’t trust yourself or your knowledge? Must be tough for you to get up in the morning.
