The County Commission was being skittish tonight, in spite of overwhelming support for the full one cent bus/rail option.
The MARTA Board will consider this .50 cent bus only proposal in the morning, and hopefully reject it.
The Clayton Commissioners have until July 6th to decide what to place on the ballot this Fall. Keep your fingers crossed, as the voters will approve it overwhelmingly.
This could also be the key to 'unlock' commuter rail....
