Hooray for Doug! He is an inspiration to all who believe the public has a right to know how tax dollars are being spent. Doug is a citizen hero! The ABG’s legacy will be a parking deck. Doug’s will be honesty and integrity. Thank you Doug!

I have known Doug Abramson my entire life and can vouch for the fact he has been a conscientous worker in this city as long as I can remember, always a real part of the community and giving back.
Anyone who accuses him of selfish machinations has no idea who they are talking about.

Here’s to the Abramsons and here’s to the ABG’s summertime attendance being DOWN!

That would explain why thousands of people didn’t show up to fight the deck. Those who supported the deck let ABG fight the battle, while those who opposed it coalesced under the efforts led by Doug The Exalted.

I think that “what you have seen/heard” comes from the vocal minority to which I referred. The vast majority of Atlantans probably haven’t even heard or they don’t care.

“miffed” sounds fair but i’m not convinced that the majority or people actually support this parking deck.

from what i’ve seen/heard, most people think it sets a poor precedent and raises lots of questions about the ABG and piedmont park conservancy that need to be addressed.

these institutions seem to be failing the citizens of atlanta and lots of people are concerned about that.

Way to go, Doug and Susan! You deserve a medal for taking on the entrenched interests and their endless, misleading PR games. It was a fight worth fighting – as the overwhelming support of the neighborhoods across Atlanta demonstrated. Now if we just had a city government that listened to the neighborhoods …

i don’t see an enraged minority.

i see lots of people asking questions that have yet to be answered.

attempting to marginalize the questioners doesn’t address the issues at hand.

or maybe that’s the idea???

They have something else in common. The BMF going to jail and the deck getting built will benefit the community-at-large while enraging a vocal minority.
