Transportation Plan? Atlanta Voters Say No Thanks

Transportation Plan? Atlanta Voters Say No Thanks Voters in the Atlanta region rejected a ballot measure to raise sales taxes by a penny to fund some $6 billion in transportation projects. Caroline Cournoyer | September 2012 Something for everyone isn’t always enough to please anyone. That moral can be drawn from the failure of a major transportation funding measure in Atlanta. Business groups disturbed by Atlanta-area congestion decided to borrow an idea from Western cities like Phoenix and Denver. Rather than waiting for federal funds, they wanted to ask residents to pay for improvements. They got the Legislature on board, and voters in Atlanta and a 10-county area were presented in July with a ballot measure to raise sales taxes by a penny to fund some $6 billion in transportation projects. (Other regions throughout Georgia voted on similar, more modest packages.)

Three reasons to believe 2021 will be a more prosperous year for Georgians

This is a column by Kyle Wingfield, president and CEO of the Georgia Public Policy Foundation, a libertarian-leaning policy think tank based in Atlanta. I don’t know what you’ve asked of Santa Claus for Christmas, but one thing ought to be on everyone’s wish list: a big dose of optimism. After the year we’ve had, a belief that brighter days lie ahead would be welcome for all. Fortunately, we needn’t wait for Dec. 25 – or for a COVID-19 vaccine. I see three big reasons to believe 2021 will be a more prosperous year for all Georgians. 1. More and more Georgians are back to work. As recently as four years ago, a state unemployment rate of 4.5% would have been a welcome improvement. As recently as four months ago, hitting that number before the end of 2020 would have seemed highly unlikely. Yet, that’s exactly what our most recent figure (for October) was.
