Today’s moderator: Tom Sabulis
A 20-year veteran of the AJC, Tom Sabulis has covered news, politics and the arts during a career that has taken him to newspapers across the country. Since 2008, he has coordinated many of the newspaper’s pro/con debates and first-person guest columns.
MARTA bus operators can be as different as their routes. Jeffrey Watkins is retired from the U.S. Air Force, a former police officer and now pastor of a small church in Douglasville. He began his driving career in the service and then took charters to casinos. Michael Majette, who referees high school football and basketball in his spare time, started by driving furniture trucks in his native North Carolina. Watkins likes driving the longer MARTA routes, while Majette has been on the same neighborhood-oriented route for 12 years. To comment, go to: blogs.ajc.com/atlanta-forward
