I can't say for certain but my recollection is that many years ago it was said that the mayor lived in a RV travel trailer parked in the lot of a local business that he owned/operated. But then my memory can be somewhat erroneous at times.

Back when I was working, every discussion I was a part of (or was within earshot of) that dealt with mass transit always included the fact that NO mass transit systems pays for itself. They're all supported with tax dollars. Fares never cover the cost. In that day all the elected officials recongnized that fact and there were those who supported transit regardless. Those who supported it did so under the premise that it provided a service to the community in more ways than one and would be worth the cost. Those who were against it took their stand on not wanting to spend tax dollars to keep it going. The only thing that is different in this day is that none of the politicians are willing to take an open stand. They simply go about their day bumping their hoohahs on the fence post.

In a striking and surprise blow to the near bankrupt MARTA supporters to include Rep. Salaam, the Amalgamted Transit Union (sponsors of Jessie Jackson) the BOC outmaneuvered those that would force transit upon Clayton County.

In a quiet move, the BOC did nothing which stopped the question being added to the fall ballot for resolution by the voters.  This maneuver will silence the above factions for at least two years if not more.

I am not against transit.  I am against transit that attempts to bankrupt the Citizens.  It is clearly evident that MARTA, some $125 million dollars in the red with no end in siight, wanted Clayton County dollars to prop up it's failing management that has sucked dry the very life of that transit system through corrupt contracts and cronyism.

Well I'll be darn! Somehow I am not surprised at this.

Sniff, Sniff!!!

Is that smoke I smell? 

The offices of the City Hall of Lovejoy was raided by investigators amid allegations of fraudulent voting on the part of Mayor Joe Murphy.

Remember he is the person that attempted to rum for Clayton County Commissioner District 4 but quickly eneded his campaign when his residency came into question before the Clayton County Election Board.

Remember, to obtain a search warrant, a judge must be presented evidence of criminal activity AND specific and named articles are identified to be seized.  No easy task.  This indidcates that ivestigators have a deep understanding of the workings of this investigation. 

I wonder how far this investigation reaches outside of Lovejoy as Mr. Murphy is "friendly" with other factions within the county.

I live in Henry County, and often drive through Clayton on my way to Fayetteville. I am reminded of this story:

ONE hot summer’s day a Fox was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. “Just the things to quench my thirst,” quoth he. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: “I am sure they are sour.”
         “IT IS EASY TO DESPISE WHAT YOU CANNOT GET.”

I don't despise Henry county at all, just sick of Henry county despising me.
