SUBSCRIPTION
Thanks for covering what ‘comes around’
It is with pleasure that I renew my subscription to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution for another year.
I have always enjoyed the news and the deals that help my family save money.
In the past, these have been my reasons to renew.
This year, I have another reason. I want to support the AJC financially so that you will continue to investigate and expose all the corruption that is far too common these days.
It is sad that many people we have entrusted with jobs to run our governments are crooked.
My mother taught me that what goes around, comes around.
With your reporting, we get to see the “comes around.”
Without your investigative reporting, who knows how much would be stolen from us without our ever knowing it?
Thank you, AJC. I sleep better at night knowing that you are looking out for us. Keep up the good work.

T-SPLOST
Define the problem, then find solutions
The T-SPLOST transportation plan has failed. It is time to start over.
The best way to do that is to first define the problem, secure agreement on problem definition and then develop solutions.
For example, is the problem traffic congestion or is it the belief by some that by driving cars we are somehow destroying the planet?
Is the problem that people have a need to move more conveniently and quickly in all directions throughout the metro area?
Or is it that we need some sort of social engineering project which tries to force people to live in a more confined area and use public rail to get around?
When we get the majority of the metro population to agree on which of the above approaches should govern the planning, we should be able to develop something taxpayers will pay for, and something which will solve real problems.
The new project can start with a brand new name. It is not a transportation plan; it is “the congestion relief project.”

ELECTION 2012
Coverage ‘whistling past a graveyard’
As soon as Mitt Romney announced his choice for a running mate, the left went into delirium, claiming it was happy to see Paul Ryan join Romney on the ticket that will would surely give them the ammunition to further the fight against Republicans’ winning back the White House.
News stories in the past few days show nothing but smiling faces, and innocuous comments about how this will finally “put a face” on the election: the Barack Obama future vs. the dangerous platform put forth by the Republicans. This has brought to mind the old idiom, “whistling past a graveyard.”
