Nathan Deal’s lead and strip health benefits from these part-time workers? A business leader writes about the benefits of regional collaboration and the clout gained through self-taxing community improvement districts. And an Atlanta city councilwoman urges Atlantans to police their individual perimeters, at least when it comes to picking up trash.
