The city of Kennesaw in Cobb County passed the “homeowner gun law” not Cobb County as a whole.
1996 Resolution? Yes. I lived there and supported it. Frankly, Cobb County didn’t need the economic benefit of the much hyped Olympics.
Public transit rail? You mean MARTA. To be served by it each participating county had to implement a supporting 1% sales tax as tribute. Cobb County did not “refuse to let MARTA” go through its property. MARTA didn’t build anything because it didn’t get its money.
As an aside, years later, various MARTA bus lines did eventually reach out to encroach borders and even into Cobb County. They did this to increase ridership.
Thanks for the correction. I appreciate it. My memory was a bit off. I also got a similar correction on freepmail.
