Can our City of Atlanta explain why they charge a $4.50 'convenience' fee to pay water bills online..? Surely it costs way more to have a City employee process manual payments. For now, a $0.44c stamp is great value for the only monthly payment that I still make by mail.

Let's see now, Governor Deal says it is OK to give a few hundred million dollars to the new stadium because it is not really state money in the first place. We knew when we voted for him that he spent twenty years in Congress. This is where he learned about money.

Why isn't anyone talking about all of the added perks in the Fiscal agreement that benefited companies and industries that are already doing ok?

Score: 342

Why does the gov't quote new job growth each month. Tell the public the important stat - net job growth. Gaining 100,000 jobs means nothing if there were 200,000 lost.

I love how the people that adamantly worship the rich and say they "earned" their money are the same ones that turn around and call politicians the scum of the earth for exploiting their position to make money!
