"If TSPLOST doesn't pass, it would be the worst thing ever happened to Atlanta," said Cobb Chamber CEO David Connell.
David Connell, CEO and President of the Cobb Chamber of Commerce, strongly endorsed the regional transportation penny sales tax referendum Thursday at the Acworth Business Association (ABA) Monthly Luncheon at NorthStar Church. Connell spoke to an audience of about 100 people, which included State Rep. Ed Setzler, Kennesaw Mayor Mark Mathews and local business leaders. He discussed Cobb's business strategies that are aimed at creating more jobs and boosting the county's competitiveness. "These are not strategies to use public funding for chamber marketing," he said.

The Cobb County commissioners meet at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday for a work session and at 7 p.m. for the regular board meeting.
The state House of Representatives voted a week ago to accept new district lines for Cobb County. But the issue is on the commissioners agenda Tuesday night.

Thompson was joined by Commissioner JoAnne Birrell at the last meeting, Feb. 14, in adding a new map to the agenda at the last minute. The new map would keep all of Mableton in Thompson's district. Birrell told the Marietta Daily Journal that revisions could be made to the map before it is voted on by the state Senate. Chairman Tim Lee and Commissioner Helen Goreham said at the Feb. …

The measure must now go before the Senate for a vote.
In its second go-around this month, charter school legislation passed in the state House of Representatives today by a vote of 123-48. If the measure also passes in the Senate, it will allow Georgians to vote on a proposed constitutional amendment to restore the state's power to approve charter schools. In May, a Supreme Court of Georgia ruling essentially dissolved the Georgia Charter School Commission, placing sole authority of the creation of charter schools in the hands of local school boards. Rep. Ed Setzler, who represents portions of Kennesaw and Acworth, said he supported House Resolution 1162 during a town-hall meeting Tuesday night. "What we're working on is creating a structure where the funding follows the children, not the …
