I lived in Columbus, and a lot of people talked about “The Walking Dead” and locally a lot of home-schoolers got to be extras in the Christian movie “Overcomer” (including my daughter). That’s an intangible perk to many.

Thanks, Dr. Sivana. Great testimonial to how Hollywood likes to pull heart strings to get what they want.
But every other state has bailed out of the big incentives.
Georgia voters may be the most gullible.

We’re not being given a chance to vote on it. Ralston and the rest make sure of that.
I researched petitions and signature procedures to force a referendum on a state ballot here in Georgia. From what I could tell, that isn’t an option here in Georgia. I hope that I’m wrong, but I think I read it right.
Even California allows it......California adopted its proposition system over a century ago to empower citizens through direct democracy by allowing them to propose legislation, vote directly on policy initiatives, and even amend the state constitution.
According to the Statewide Initiative Guide, anyone eligible to vote in California is also eligible to propose three kinds of initiatives: initiative statutes, initiative constitutional amendments, and referendums.
Initiative statutes are proposed laws, initiative constitutional amendments are amendments to the state constitution, and referendums give voters the power to approve or reject bills already passed by the California State Legislature.
Ralston has to keep a tight grip on that leash.
