One year ago, I mused what changes we'll be seeing as part of the mid-term federal elections. Well...nothing has changed. The GOP is still not doing anything to help stave off high unemployment and fiscal ills on the federal or local level.  Presidential campaigning is about to shadow the needs of the country. South Fulton is facing yet another tax increase. The school system is now filing to become a "Charter System". Will that mean our children will get a better education? No,  With a five - two majority on the Fulton County School Board the northside Milton County want to be's are happy with the status quo. Fulton County has to redraw it's commission districts. One nave had the audacity to say north Fulton should be "given" another commission district to stop them from forming Milton County. How proposterous is that? They have no more than 375,000 people north of the Atlanta city limits leaving more than 525,000 south of that line. What ignorance. A Milton County would be nothing more than a racial divide.

Liquor can now be bought on Sunday in a lot of places around South Fulton but, not in unincorporated South Fulton. Some politicos want a new Transportation Tax (TSPLOST). I don't think so. Two gaping example why not - The Atlanta Beltline and no expansion of I-20 heading towards Conyers from I-285 in Dekalb.

A lot is going on but nothing is changing. A new movement has come about because of the stagnation - Occupy Wall Street. They are people like all of us who have had enough of the status quo. 99% of the people are victimes of the 1% that controls everything.
We have an epic failure with the Congressional Super Committee. Within the year we will re-elect President Obama or select from the likes of Newt Gingrich and Michelle Bachmann. I opt for the current Commander-in-Chief. Though stalemate will be game of the day. Nothing is going forward until the Tea Baggers have their way.

Let's see where we are next year. Will Govenor Deal and his GOP make things better for Georgian or worse. Unemployment remains over 10% in the state. I guess that is a Washington problem too.
