$1mm from the Feds for the Beltline – big deal! That’s what percentage of the total boondoggle cost the rest of which is coming out of local taxpayers’ hides?
1 million down and only 1,599 million to go?
Our lords and masters take us for innumerate chumps. Well, given the state of Georgia’s public education, they may have us right.
