They just removed about half of our streetlamps. The electric company is really pissed. It was a big part of their revenue so now they have to raise our rates to make up for it. The electric company has cut a deal with the residents that we can have them back if we want to pay for them ourselves. But yet they continue to fund worthless crap we can’t afford like a multimillion dollar geothermal system for an indoor pool that we don’t even have. But we’re all set in case we ever get one. (s). They spend gazillions of dollars to build parks and fancy up the downtown area and everything is boarded up and the buildings are rotting down because they insist everything has to be done to preserve the historic value and no one can afford to buy one of those rotting buildings and spend a fortune fixing it up the way the historic society wants it done. Its all just crazy.
All this ‘stimulus’ money was spent, yet MARTA is being drastically cut. More taxes and MUCH less service is the new American way.
