The Warner Robins City Council last night awarded the contract for the G-RAMP environmental assessment, still without any proof that there would be any benefit to taxpayers.  They also appointed a recreation department advisory board with no input from Council.

 

City Council had their retreat at Reynolds Plantation over the weekend, in which Mayor Chuckie Shaheen asked everybody to "bear with him" as he figures out his job.  Council responded by pointing out that would be easier if Shaheen would tell them what he wants to do.  Shaheen also proposed a new organizational chart that would essentially create two city managers, despite his insistence during the campaign that there was no need for a city manager.

 

Kelly Burke is no longer Houston County District Attorney.  Hopefully the voters of Houston County will keep him out of public office for good.

 

College students marched on the Capitol in Atlanta yesterday to protest cuts to higher education budgets and tuition increases.  They seem to think that they have a right to an education.  So far the best response I've seen came from the Chairman of Georgia Young Republicans, who has more guts than Republican elected officials.

A budget task force has recommended $3 billion in state savings, while Rep. Larry O'Neal (R-Bonaire), Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee is looking for ways to go after tax cheats.

 

Democrats are still trying to push their health care takeover bill but they still don't have the votes.  Meanwhile, President Obama is threatening to withdraw support from any Democrats who do not vote for ObamaCare.  That should keep quite a few more from voting for it.  Anybody who thinks that there should be a right to health care should consider this disgusting tub of lard.

 

No Democrat Congress has balanced a budget in 40 years, and no Republican President has balanced a budget in 50 years.
