Couple of things

- I know there are a lot of folks who will be in for a shock when they get their property tax bills, but there's been a ton of information out on this in the past few months so should it really be a 'shock' in the grand scheme of things? Everyone affiliated with the various local governments have been scrambling to notify residents of the impending increase from the state government, so hopefully folks have had time to get ready for it (and will remember in 2010 that Republicans in Atlanta passed this increase).

- Still waiting on The Classic Center's parking deck.

- Five candidates to replace Sen. Ralph Hudgens, and the new guy wants to reform the state income tax code (good!) by abolishing it and replacing with a higher, regressive sales tax (bad!).

- This apparently went down last night as, after all the thunder and lightening, I was fully expecting a good soaking rain. Of course, it just rolled on over with nary a drop of water ...
