Here's the deal. After the Cobb Board of Commissioners put the transit tax on the ballot on June 11, there was very little activity on the part of pro-transit advocates other then the County rolling out an advocacy website disguised as education, and holding a couple of "informational" events where they got hammered by citizens opposed to the tax.
Well now the tax raisers are awakening from their slumber and starting to hold their own advocacy meetings in earnest with several planned between now and election day. We knew that with all the money they have at their disposal from deep pocket sponsors like Georgia Power, Croy Engineering and Arcadis, that it was just matter of time before they launched their campaign to raise your taxes. The first of such events that we are aware of is the one hosted by "Advance Atlanta" (see the invite below). We encourage you to RSVP to this event, and others that we will later make you aware of, and let them know that we are ready to take the fight to them. www.cobbtaxpayer.com
