The TSPLOST referendum failed miserably in all but three regions of Georgia as well it should have.
Addressing the state’s transportation needs based on multi-county regions in which most counties had nothing in common with the others was flawed - and, it says here - doomed from the start.

Splattered" for the most part, especially the reduction of regions if and when it rears its ugly head again.
While attending a public presentation of the T-SPLOST proposal I was struck by the lack of enthusiasm of the public servants who were making their case to the public. It was almost like they knew the ^T-SPLOST was in deep yogurt! However, the opposition asked all the right questions which put the proponents on the defensive.
The Citizens of Georgia know the GDOT is the patronage employment agency of Georgia and cannot be trusted to deliver any project on time and within budget. GDOT's track record is dismal at best and terrible at worst. Our citizens are well aware of GDOT and its trustworthiness!!!!
Until GDOT can enjoy the trust of our citizens only myopic thinkers will be supporters of any GDOT proposals, especially when a 10 year time frame and billions of dollars are involved!!!!
My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.
John F. Kennedy
(Now folks, I ain't the brightest bulb on the tree, the sharpest tool in the shed, my elevator don't go all the way to the top because I am a few bricks short of a load.....)but my friend
JFK was a Republican in the body of a Democrat. He was born like that. He could not help it. It does not say that is OK in the Bible. Take that rainbow off his picture.
I wish I could have been older in JFK's days. There would have been two things on my bucket list. I would sleep with JFK and ask him to get Marilyn Monroe's autograph for me.
Oh yeah, I forgot. I would have said..Jack, come on officially over to the Republican side....Ronald Reagan is going to and he is the best president that I will remember.
Patrick and I were sitting by the fire a few years ago and he said, "Sweetheart, the time will come when the voting pool will be so sorry that they will elect a person that is not even an American citizen as President. He or maybe even she (we both laughed about that she part) will abuse the constitution until it no longer exist." I said, "C'mon baby, say it like a quote so I can use it later and he said:
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people,
it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government
-- lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."
- Patrick Henry-
I miss my nights with Patrick!
ST: What are those things on your eyes?
BF: I don't know, I just invented them. But I can see better. I was looking over some things that I have written after I could see, I am smarter than I thought.
ST: I only date smart, old men. Let me read what you wrote:
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the vote."
- Benjamin Franklin-
ST: That is almost as good as Patrick's quote.
BJ: I can see you better now and you are not as
pretty when I have good vision.
ST: Ah, Go fly a kite, old man!
You can call people by anything you would like, county, parrish, tribe, state,etc. But all groups will eventually multiply...then divide. This often happens at election time. Redneck, Bluecollar, Whitecollar, Black Panther, White Supremest, Redman, Bluecoats, Greycoats, DemocRATS, RepublICANs... The Fence Riders (alias Shadowhawk, Dark Shadow, etc.)Shadow People are more common on sites that are not as restricted) I am from the Crayon Tribe. Color is not a problem for us. We come in a set. We are different colors but stand together for something. We do not hide in our crayon box and yell, "I am green"...We come out and show our colors. Other tribes would say, "Did you see that? There is a Green Boy and he is not hiding, I just cannot believe it, I am going to ask Mama can I come out and play with Green Boy?" And Shadow Mama would say...."Hell no, you little idiot, you stay right there on that fence until we see if Green Boy wins the election, then and only then can you get off that fence. Then you run over to Green Boy and say, "We knew you would win, Green Boy, did you see all those posts from the Shadow family."
And Green Boy will truthfully say, "Yes indeed, I read so, so many posts from various shadows but I don't know who to thank. Shadow Boy will say, "Is there anything I can do to help you since you have won the election?"
Green Boy will say, "Sure, help me fill out all these Thank You notes from The Crayon Tribe."
