our worthless legislature

what a stupid bunch of people---stupid, stupid, stupid---not only did they not fund a transportation bill, they refused to give MARTA the right to spend money that it collects in fulton and dekalb----there is a 1% sales tax for MARTA in those counties, but from the beginning the agency has been hamstrung by a requirement that no more than 50% can be spent on operations---and this by a legislature that has never given MARTA one thin dime----now we may have no trains on weekends----
