As The Atlanta Journal-Constitution  reported recently, some Democrats at the Gold Dome want Gwinnett County to hold a vote this year on whether to join MARTA.

Their resolution isn’t likely to go anywhere in the General Assembly, and Gwinnett officials say they’re focused this year on getting voters to renew a special local options sales tax that would pay for road, parks and other construction projects.

Still, the AJC wants to know: Do you think Gwinnett should join MARTA? Vote in the poll below. If you're willing to be quoted in an article, you can also e-mail reporter David Wickert: dwickert@ajc.com.
