Yall remember Georgia state Sen Bill Ligon? The one who sent Pence a letter urging him to refuse to certify the election?

Welp, Ligon escaped indictment in spite of 20-1 vote by special grand jury

There’s been a lot of talk about Kemp going after Willis, this is not the case, and probably his smartest move.

critics on left = the Georgia little guy doesnt benefit

Big-rigging: Georgia officials have been doling out construction contracts for EV vehicle plants to non-union contractors represented by "a trade association that’s donated over $1 million to Republican candidates across the state over the past decade, including $30,000 to Brian Kemp’s re-election bid in 2022." prospect.org/power/2023-08-24-

This is shameful that this council member is being targeted and attacked for making voting more accessible. I'm extremely disappointed to see this racist voter suppression happening in Morrow

“Keep that in mind as we watch the circus of well-coiffed and bespoke besuited media from New York and Washington D.C. descend upon the County Courthouse this week, most of whom are making more money than I do rehashing talking points made 50 times over while 24 jurors do actual work.”

Forsyth County Ga joined the Atlanta Regional commission in 2021.

Everytime it's mentioned a bunch of locals inevitablly start claiming the ARC will turn Forsyth into "Atlanta" and the ARC is taking over and how we should leave it.

It's the same baffling logic behind refused the medicaid expansion.

Leaving the ARC or refusing to join it doesn't make it go away. It just removes our seat at the table. It won't change the economic geography of the county either.
