I Love Cobb County, Georgia

Yes, we here in Cobb County have had several notorious and stupid policies by our local government (the anti-gay resolution of last decade, and the current attempt by Creationists to put stickers in books to discredit evolution). But, you know what? I don't care. This is a county that continually votes against sales tax increases. Yes, we have schools opening up overcrowded from day 1. Still, our citizens seem to understand that population growth equals increase property values which means increased property tax revenue from the increase values AND volume of citizens and their commercial shopping spaces. So, why do we need a new sales tax? This causes great stress to the Atlanta Journal and Constitution's editorial board, but its a badge of honor. Now, apparently the county commission is proposing another sales tax referendum that would increase our lowest in the state sales taxes. This time for "infrastructure" and a new court house. And, as these reader responses to the an AJC article on the tax proposal indicates, this tax increase may well be headed down in flames as well. Here's hoping that the citizens of Cobb continue to make me proud and ask a simple question! What's wrong with the current court house?
