Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

The Clayton County Commission has until Sunday to accept the agreement.

CBS 46 reports that Clayton County Commission Chairman Jeff Turner has scheduled a special meeting for Saturday to discuss the proposal.

The half-penny sales tax was expected to generate about $25 million a year, and a full penny would generate about $49 million a year.

......"Police ride C-Tran, keep things safe, quiet" :

"I know from experience," said David Ricks, a Clayton County police officer with the Special Operations unit.

Ricks is one of the officers assigned to the buses, so when the 1008 opened its doors late on Thursday afternoon, he stepped in and took his spot standing in the back.

His partner for the patrol, Jonathan McCant, takes a similar spot up front, standing up near the door, a little behind the driver.

"When the drivers see us," McCant said, "they're like, 'Thank God.' Yesterday, he had two females get on the bus and go to the back and right away, they started fighting. Physically fighting. We don't really do anything, on the bus, but just being their keeps everything quiet."

The Clayton County Police Department started putting officers on buses as part of regular patrols two months ago. Pairs of officers from the Special Operations unit are assigned to bus, at random intervals on random lines, and they stand in the doorways and ride, giving C-Tran some police presence.

......Why did Turner not post police on the buses before this Law was signed into Our Laws ?

Clayton County Police Chief Jeff Turner said addressing the increased number of C-TRAN riders has been complicated by the fact that in May, Gov. Sonny Perdue signed into law House Bill 89, which greatly expands the rights of registered gun owners to bring guns into restaurants and onto public transit. The bill became effective on July 1.

"I really wish they would have not passed that law," said Turner. "I think it's going to make our job even more trying, because of the propensity of having even more weapons on the streets.

"So many people want to carry a gun for safety, but they don't want to take the time to train how to properly use a handgun, so that presents a higher safety risk," Turner continued. He said he is currently in discussions with C-TRAN officials about having uniformed and plain-clothes officers "sporadically ride C-TRAN for added protection."

"We're not expecting trouble ... but people with guns on the bus can add to our problem," said Turner. "We have to realize that it is here and we have to deal with it."

....By the way; This Law is a Self Defense Law, and only those with Georgia Carry Permits can carry firearms on Buses.
