Georgia House of Representatives has adopted SR 845 by a vote of 136 to 35. This achieves the 2/3 majority to approve constitutional amendment. However,...
It might not just be a matter of getting this past the legislature: From Insider Advantage: We asked, "Do you favor or oppose an amendment that would allow ...
The problem with transportation, as with much out there, is that our leaders are not leading. It should not matter one hoot what the people want. Our leaders...
Well, I think a referendum is actually the solution to what Shira's talking about. The leaders were unwilling to decide on project lists, and unwilling to...
FYI. Dwight Ferrell, chief operating officer and executive vice president of the (Austin, TX) Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority, has resigned. ...

I don't get what all the fuss is about with the Breezecards. The D.C. Metro is the second busiest system in the country and they have similar rules. Everyone...
Just a note of clarification, as a transplanted Atlantan living in DC, most of us opt to use the SmarTrip card. The plastic cards, like Breeze cards (not...
My fuss is not about the Breeze system itself but about all the other things they could have done that would have been cheaper and would have actually made the...
