by the citizens of the outlying counties. They don't want blacks to have easy access to public transit that might help them violate the sacred precincts of Cobb and other suburban counties. Do you know what they say the acronym for Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) stands for? "Moving Africans Rapidly Through Atlanta." This is the mindset of the Atlanta suburbs. Good luck to the legislature in dealing with it.
