Robert 2 months, 2 weeks ago on Anti-airport tax bill racing toward House approval

Clayton County owns several properties outside of the county and recently owned the small airport in Henry county. Have ad valorem taxes been paid by Clayton County to these outside counties? Is the county paying ad valorem tax to the city of Lake City for owning the old Publix building in Lake City? Why is someone from Griffin sponsoring this bill? What is being gained from such a sponsorship? Dirty politics maybe? Regardless of who owns the property if it is inside Clayton County they should pay their fair share of the taxes. If Clayton County should lose this tax revenue does that mean that the City of Atlanta will start to rake it in?

I'm sure that will go over like a lead balloon.

Robert 2 months, 3 weeks ago on Randall prevails in civil suit against Scott

",,,this jury has given Lee Scott and his wife something to think about the next time they try to use a public office for private gain.”

Oscar, I agree. Hopefully the Scott's will get the message that they have worn out their welcome in Clayton County and will go back taking Victor with them. Anyone want to bet that Earl Randall will have to place a lien against their home and business before he sees any money?
