Cobb county.

Passed legislation requiring all citizens to own guns.

Cobb county had just passed resolution condemning gay lifestyle. During the 1996 Olympics years ago in Atlanta, the Olympic committee required Cobb county to rescind the resolution or the prelim volleyball would be moved out of Cobb county to somewhere else. Cobb county said bye.

When the public transit rail was designed and passed, Cobb county refused it to go through its property because they didn’t want undesirables to come in.

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.
