.....Before anyone begins to tell us how good Public Transportation would do for this county; Think Again. Clayton County exhibited more economic growth, without having MARTA or Mass Transit Public Transportation. Don't use our failure of not having Public Transportation an excuse...Believe me; With or without it....Clayton County will not improve. Those that disagrees, is speculating on a future that will never happen.

Using sales taxes to feed public transportation is like a wooden steam ship chopping itself into kindling to keep moving.
