Austin Scott to Challenge Marshall

I will be on News/Talk 940 WMAC 6-9am again this morning.  You can also listen online at www.wmac-am.com.  The phone number is (478) 742-0940.

 

Austin Scott made it official yesterday.  He will be challenging Jim Marshall.  Now the other candidates need to get out of the way.

 

A man was attacked with a baseball bat at his home Wednesday night.  Another man was shot in the thigh on his own front porch early yesterday morning.  Police have also arrested somebody for arson after the home of a murder suspect caught fire down last week.  In Warner Robins, shots were fired at the same home on Suzanne Drive for the second time in a week.

 

The contract for the G-RAMP environmental assessment should be ready soon.  Middle Georgia taxpayers should hope that they find an endangered worm or something.

 

The legislature passed two bills to ban texting while driving.  California's experience has been that not only is a ban nearly impossible to enforce, it also does not keep people from doing it.

 

The legislature passed a lot of bills yesterday, including a ballot referendum on an increased car tag fee for trauma funding.

 

The state budget includes funding for the arts, for the College Football Hall of Fame, and to fund the Sports and Music Halls of Fame for another year.

 

Poor people are losing their welfare check disguised as a tax credit.

 

The legislature did pass a bill to fix the zero tolerance discipline policies in the state's government schools.

 

Drivers will be allowed to keep road kill under a bill that passed the legislature yesterday.

 

While school districts prepare to cut their budgets even further, the Macon Telegraph's Charles Richardson is upset that school superintendents didn't throw public temper tantrums like the starving artists to encourage the state to raise taxes for education.

 

States' rights Republican candidate for Governor Ray McBerry had sex with a 16-year-old girl in 2002.  That's reason enough for me to be finished with him.

 

The companies doing work at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport don't have a problem with hiring criminal aliens to do work funded with tax dollars.

 

Al Gore now has an ocean-view villa in which to enjoy the money he has made scaring everybody about rising sea levels from global warming.  Do you need any more proof that he's full of it?

 

Here's another one of those stories showing how much more the people whose paychecks you're forced to fund make more money than you do.

 

The Mistake thinks that there should be a maximum wage that people are allowed to earn.  I just wonder whether he would apply this standard to athletes, musicians, and authors like himself.
