DEL.ICIO.USA tough day for the big bills
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Before lunch, a legislative package to let developers levy taxes to finance low-interest bonds on their own projects was defeated when it fell one vote short of the required two-thirds.
It won a vote for reconsideration, but was immediately tabled. The implication is that the votes still aren’t there, but supporters think they might get get there by day’s end.
This could be the third piece of legislation to scrape bottom on the shoals today. Payday lending is gone for the session, and the certificate-of-need/hospital licensing bill may be held back as well.

When people in other countries talk about “war-lords”, you gotta wonder what that means. Is it perhaps simular to what we in the US used to refer to as “company towns”? When private interests own your town, is that about “war-lords”? Even people who don’t like big government must realize that they don’t want to be governed by some small entity that is not accountable to anyone. Right?
