What's Next South Fulton?

The midterm elections are over and a new direction is being charted for the country by the GOP. While here in Georgia the same path of the GOP will be followed with little course correction. South Fulton is still strapped by the housing bubble bursting. Land is a plenty and ain't nothing happening.

Wouldn't it be great if a new development that took advantage of the true needs of the folks down here would come along. I mean we need medical facilities for pediatrics and adults, recreation for all, and so on. 

Yes, there is new scuttlebutt on creating a Milton County. Yet no one will challenge them on the fact that Sandy Springs was never a part of Milton County. Therefore, if you are willing to create the "true" Milton County (without Sandy Springs) you may get support at least from me.

In the meantime, our educational system in the state is broken and will remain so. The GOP has no plan to fix what's wrong with the state of education in Georgia. On the other hand, Fulton County Board of Education is exploring a "Charter System". Now don't get it confused with a "Charter School". A Charter System only allows the entire school system to opt out of some of the overarching regulations handed down by the State of Georgia. Student achievement regs don't get a reprieve. Students are still expected to learn except they would learn in an environment that allows just a little more control for the school prinicipal. And Lord knows it doesn't mean any more money.

Since the state is following the same path. I guess it's time for us to start creating a little discussion on what will the GOP do to get us out of last place in education and employment.

Let's just see if anything will change. I doubt it. Until next time.
