Charging EBT customers more is not mathematically identical to charging EBT customers less, either to the customer or the SNAP program.

This map is incorrect. Toomer ES is staying, it’s just the so called β€œToomer Annex”, better known as the APS Pre-K at Whiteford Early Learning Academy that is merging and moving into Toomer and other local schools.

"When she did meet someone at a conservative mixer β€” tall, blond and blue-eyed β€” her friends told her he wasn't really Christian. He apparently said that he grew up Catholic, but he wasn't actively attending church. So she moved along."

Why exactly are we going to war against Maduro? Is it just *hand waving* Narco Terrorism* or something else?

You see Darin, if you close your eyes and wish real hard, you too can somehow use $5.5B in potential funding to pay for $14.7B worth of projects.

I’m expecting the Clifton Corridor project to kick off any day now.

Which is the correct position.

He dropped his phone and had to pick it back up.

They were chasing him because he was talking shit about Trump.

Also, Atlanta doesn’t actually have a mayoral race going on.

There’s an election but no serious contenders.

But if TADs *never expire* than the money can’t go back into the city, county and schools.

Those entities have to then pay their rising costs without the benefit of tax growth in over 10% of the city - which results in higher taxes.

They could be deported, but these Latino immigrants in Georgia still relish Trump’s win Exit polls found that Trump appears to have won 42% of the Latino vote in Georgia, up 1% from 2020. His hard-line stances on immigration weren’t off-putting; they were a draw.

This was true even among immigrant populations

Varela crossed the southern border illegally in April 2022. β€œTrump doesn’t want to stop immigration; he wants for it to be controlled, and to block criminals from coming in and destroying the country. It’s a mess.”

Well the actual realistic worst case scenario for many opposed to him is that he manages to push through modest pilot versions that are successful, popular, and sustainable and then grow in scope and size.

Running for office is exhaustingβ€”but the real toll is emotional. I show up for every forum, every community, while others spread fear and hate. Atlanta raised me. I’m running on hope, ethics, and bold ideas. Let’s vote for the city we deserve. πŸ—³οΈβ€οΈ #VoteRohit

In this group project, the city wants APS to do the majority of the work but for the city to get all the credit.

If investing in neighborhoods is so core to APS mission and APS is putting in half the funding, then APS should control half the seats for Invest Atlanta.

Many If the projects they are touting are transit related.

I think transit is hugely important for us to fund, but no redirecting APS money to build an in-fill station or extend the streetcar is not the most efficient use of their dollars to meet their mission.

It’s worth considering why the market allows Disney to charge what they do while slowing the growth of game prices.

It’s not that people are whining that keeps prices low - it’s the competition. If videos games cost too much, people will find other games or activities instead.
