The ‘Bad Faith’ Braves

Bill Simon, Thursday, December 19th, 2013

PV, Sunday, December 15th, 2013

Rumors have it that the folks over at the Cobb Chamber of Commerce, political consultants with the Cobb Chamber (and other interested parties), along with a PR firm involved in “promoting” the wholesale confiscation of Cobb County taxpayer wealth for the sole purpose of the Atlanta Braves’ benefit, have been going around Cobb County and the […]
