General Assembly Proves Me Right

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

 

The Macon City Council is warning that the city's swimming pools may not open this year.  Horror of horrors!

 

Macon and Bibb County can't even agree on who is going to pay for a study on double taxation on service delivery.  They might as well just save us a lot of time and money and go on Judge Judy.

 

The funding for the Georgia Music and Sports Halls of Fame was restored in the Senate's budget yesterday.

 

Two teenagers led Macon police on a mo-ped chase yesterday.

 

The bill in the state legislature designed to crack down on the massage parlors passed a House committee yesterday, as the Macon City Council on Monday had a public hearing on an ordinance designed to do the same thing.  The problem is that these measures will not work, and even Charles Richardson says so.

 

GCSU went on lockdown yesterday and two men were arrested over a knife incident on campus.  Remember, college campuses are victim zones, and they are kept that way by the administrators.  That could change if a concealed-carry bill passes the state legislature.

 

The parasites are complaining about the Milledgeville Housing Authority cutting down a few trees.  The story also provides a bonus look into the quality of bureaucrats in Milledgeville!

 

Warner Robins Mayor Chuck "C. Jack" Shaheen has drawn up a Nixonian enemies list.  He even told one member of City Council that he needs to "support your mayor."  E-mails are also showing that Shaheen is publicly lying to harm his political enemies.

 

The Warner Robins City Council also delayed any action on the Law Enforcement Center, but that didn't keep it from coming up in Monday night's meeting.

 

Everybody is trying to make sure that their favored spending is not cut by the state legislature:

 

The Senate Appropriations Committee restored the funding (which I told you they would do last week) for the Georgia Council for the Arts after protests on Monday against cutting the funding.

 

Supporters of MARTA and MARTA itself got involved in publicly lobbying and marching for more money.  Of course, that might be a harder sell after a MARTA driver was caught urinating in the middle of a public street.

 

Lobbying is intense as the session winds down and every lobbyist tries to make sure that their funding is not cut.  Of course, that is made easier by the fact that there has been little movement on an ethics package until now.

 

The Georgia Voter ID law has been upheld again by a Fulton County Judge.

 

Fundamentalist Muslims have threatened the creators of South Park over their depiction of Mohammed, Muslims' pedophile prophet.  This is the same religion that came up with the theory that promiscuous women cause earthquakes.

 

A surgeon in Britain cut off a man's testicle by mistake because he was taking the same medicine that he had used to sedate the patient.

 

Face cream made from breast milk could cure teenage acne.

I think you're doing a good job this week at WMAC-AM. You sound good and not like a wannabe from a small market. Stay on top of the politicians and keep digging for what the other media outlets don't come up with. The key is not to be a talking head and regurgitate what we already know; it is to shine the light on the roaches.
