gman129, are you speaking from experience or just blowing off unsubstantiated conjecture? Have you even been to Chicago?
Trust me! There has never ever been a shortage of guns in the City of Chicago. If you don't believe me, here is a test for you.
At the stroke of midnight January 1st 2014, go stand on the corner of 47th and State and just listen to the barrage of gun fire. I suggest you equipped yourself with ear plugs and a bullet proof boddy suit.
"are not on any obama socialist program are fleeing the city to districts offering safer and better performing schools."
Don't blame the shrinkage of the student population on Obama. This is happening everywhere especially in big cities. People are having fewer children and the folks who could afford it have always sent their kids to parochial schools.
Those existing public schools were built when Chicago was the "city of big shoulders" with 100s of thousands of jobs in catalog fulfillment, slaughter houses, steel, and manufacturing. Those jobs are gone just as those manufacturing and garment industries jobs left Athens in the 80's.
The city is shrinking as are most cities in the midwest.
Fewer people, fewer schools are required.

Made trips twice to 5 times a year for 23 years to Chicago. The other day I asked a buddy with an apartment with his family on the lake why they were moving out near Glenview and he said the shootings were getting worse and the schools were deplorable. He said the Trib had articles in it about the alarming number of families moving to the suburbs to escape the violence and poor schools. The unions and Mayor Emanuel had tried to not allow the test scores of the schools to be published in the local papers. I watched the special about 60 Minutes last Sunday night and Rahm Emanuel would even answer questions about the shootings from a CBS reporter as he promised. The thugs have illegal guns, and Rahm Emanuel doesn't want the citizens to have legal guns. Sure you can hear the thugs shooting each other, that's what the 60 Minute show was about. People are scared and taking their families with them.

posted @ Wednesday, May 22, 2013 - 16:44People who really want their children educated and are not on any obama socialist program are fleeing the city to districts offering safer and better performing schools. With the falling enrollment the unions are the main reason these schools have not closed sooner. Expect more shootings when Chicago kids start crossing gang territories. Rahm Emanuel is doing every thing he can to keep the citizens of Chicago from owning guns in order to protect themselves and their children from the violence of the thugs in these gangs.

When I questioned a district attorney about that several years ago (at the top of my voice), he told me that "he wasn't a collection agency". I informed him that he wasn't much of a district attorney, either. Now he's' a judge. I guess incompetence always rises to the top.

If Massachusetts can do it, why can't Georgia? The problem is who and how is it going to be paid for?

Massachusetts does it by raising its taxes. Farming in western Mass is almost a thing of the past, it a thing of the past in the eastern part of the state. My uncle had to sell one of his farms to keep paying the high property taxes imposed upon him to support the "free" state programs. Georgia doesn't want all these "free" socialist programs so those wanting them could be shipped to Massachusetts where everything is "free".
Socialist forget for all the "free" food they give away someone must grow it, and communist have proven their farms weren't good at producing anything.

The liability insurance will take care of the cost of rebuilding the fence, assuming they accept liability. If not, expect the driver to get off with a slap on the wrist, and maybe some "restitution", which, trust me, is never paid.

I believe that, my barber shop was robbed of $1200 and the judge set the crook up on probation and a $12/month payment plan. The crook made one payment before he was arrested for another robbery. That $12 was all my barber got for all the time he spent in court as a witness and his loss of $1200. The thug served only 18 months of a 5 year sentence and has never paid another payment.

It takes proof to have credibility in a court. Many knew what was occurring but had no proof. Now there is proof we await to find out how many will be fired and how many will serve long prison sentences for their criminal acts.
The Fair Tax would have eliminated their criminal acts and gobs of money paying for these useless employees.

Rep. Regina Quick, R-Athens, was one of two local delegates to score less than an "A+" in the Chamber of Commerce's annual legislative score card. She and I played phone tag Monday when I was reporting the story and I wasn't able to get her comments in a timely fashion. Instead, she sent over this statement Wednesday morning and she did not mince her words. (Links and italicized portions are my own; otherwise, it's as she wrote it.) Dear Friends: read more

The committee opted Tuesday night to put off deciding on the ordinance until, at the earliest, its next meeting. Of note: The Athens-Clarke County attorney highlighted that the proposed times are, in essence, placeholders for the commission to change or keep as it pleases. Full text of the Use of Public Right-of-Ways ordinance draft is below. read more
