The Cloward-Pivening of an Election
How many Georgia counties and mystery JUDGES are changing or ignoring election law as I type? There’s no telling. Cobb, Fulton, Forsyth and Gwinnett, all reportedly with multiple irregularities. Don’t sip that weekend cocktail, or sneeze, or you might miss something.
According to multiple sources, these metro counties are spontaneously “observing special weekend operations” — taking (and maybe counting? Shredding? Adding to?) ballots (absentee? Early voting? Who knows?) this weekend and not letting poll watchers (republicans) in.
Cobb County’s New Real Estate Filing System is a Major Disaster for Property Rights
It seems the hits just keep coming for Superior Court Clerk Connie Taylor. Under her leadership, the court system has spiraled into chaos, prompting widespread frustration among attorneys and court users. And now, the latest twist—according to survey feedback from the Cobb County Bar Association, a controversial and confusing change in the real estate filing system—appears to be a nuclear situation.
Heroes Among Us: Motocross Community’s Unconditional Love
I had never been to a motocross event before, and up until October 19, never met Cobb County residents John Watkins or Nick Blackmon either. Upon arriving at the 70 plus acre Dale family farm in Buchanan, I was greeted by smiling faces – wives of the motocross riders and event coordinators – and after parking my car in a hay field, I followed the sound of two-stroke engines toward the starting line where hundreds of people were gathered with numerous helmet-clad riders revving their bikes awaiting the drop of the starting gate.
Bus Drivers Steer Cobb Education Endorsements?
In a surprising twist in the Cobb County School Board race for Post 1, the National Education Association’s (NEA) local affiliate, the Cobb County Association of Educators (CCAE), has raised eyebrows with its endorsement process. The CCAE, led by Jeff Hubbard, has thrown its support behind Vickie Benson, the Democratic candidate challenging incumbent Republican and former Cobb County educator, Randy Scamihorn. This endorsement has sparked controversy, particularly surrounding who is making these critical decisions.
Former Cobb Commissioner Bob Ott: Breaks Down MSPLOST
This week saw the beginning of early voting in Cobb County. With it comes a push by the county commission to vote for a transit tax that if approved would impose a 1% sales tax for the next 30 years. Think about that for a moment; your middle schooler would be in their mid 40s at the end of the tax.
There are many issues I see with this proposed transit tax. First, and foremost is calling it an MSPLOST. By definition, a SPLOST is a Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax. Many will remember my numerous NO votes for previous SPLOST proposals because I felt that the project list was mostly wants and not needs.
Editorial: Cobb’s Courts Need a Change
In a stark reminder of what is at stake in the upcoming election, Cobb Superior Court Chief Judge Gregory Poole addressed the Metro-Marietta Kiwanis Club on Monday, October 7, explaining why he issued a judicial emergency for the Cobb County’s Superior Court in August.
A judicial emergency is no small thing and usually is reserved for extraordinary occurrences like COVID or hurricanes. But it was not a natural disaster that brought about the most recent emergency orders. Instead, the emergency resulted from management issues attributable to Superior Court Clerk Connie Taylor.
