The council folk who voted for the tax hike should be under NO illusions that silence against a tax hike indicates approval (we just know how bought off most of Council is – besides it’s easier than finally learning how to actually read the budget). They dang well know better, esp. Miss Fauver who’s got a real right-wing contingent in Dist 6 – but since she’s on her way out, she can leave it to her annointed successor Liz Coyle, who can posture then all she wants that she doesn’t support the Administration’s tax hike and its lousy management job, hoping all the while her track record of an Administration lackey isn’t noticed….

“From here on, it’s zero tolerance for mediocrity” – as a native of Atlanta and city taxpayer, I don’t find this comment to be too reassuring.

How about zero tolerance for developer tax breaks and massive unpaid tax bills? Otherwise there will have to be another tax hike next year.
