Across the country we're seeing people flock back into the urban core. Chalk it up to gas prices, the wear and tear of a long commute on a person's soul, a generation raised in the suburbs deciding they don't want to go back to them, etc. Sonny's administration has long been agog about roads, they just haven't had the cash lately to keep building and maintaining them.

You mean Sonny can't run for a 3rd term? I thought since Sonny and his republican legislators have done such a bang up job we'd make an exception and let him run for a 3rd term. I mean seriously when can you remember things being this good in Georgia? Ok ok, for real serious, Sonny is in many ways far superior to Zell Miller. I'm not certain they planned it but between Bush's economy and Sonny's apparent lack of push for sprawl inducing roads Atlanta has seen a return to living ITP, transit use is up and people are second guessing the need to live on a 1/2 acre of grass. In otherwords in terms of transportation, doing nothing is allowing some free market forces to work. Poythress is running? You mean Sonny can’t run for a 3rd term?
