Answer is yes and yes. It is a major drug corridor but more cash is confiscated in the southbound lane than drug seized in the northbound lane unless its election time. Yes our state does need the money terribly bad. Freezing land taxes at 30% above their true value hasn't generated enough to keep the beast alive and thrifty. Making some salaried state employees work only four days a week hasn't fixed it either. Requiring that tenured professors teach at least one class a year hasn't done it either. Building industrial complexes with grant money and offering free rent for a year hasn't yielded anything other than vacant buildings and property that is no longer on the tax digest. Penalizing employers with a fine for each employee hired or employed has hasn't fixed the crisis either. Expanding our existing seed lab with a $15 million makeover doesn't seem to have done the trick either even though it will create 25 new high paying gov't jobs. So I guess we are out of alternatives and since you Tennesee folks refuse to give us back Chatanooga and the other land you stole from us we are left with no other choice but to tax out of towners through the guise of public safety. So please go ahead and stomp the gas one time, not wear your seatbelt, weave once, talk on the cell phone while driving or anything so we can stimulate our economy in Georgia. BTW - Have a great vacation and please do come back. :welcome:
