Short but sweet
The Hall County Board of Elections called itself into Executive Sessions and asked the public to leave the room.
That's a huge violation of basic security.
Why?
If I'm in the room, and I attached a recording device to my chair, I can record every word of the Executive Session. When the Executive Session ends, I walk into the room and recover my device.
Every idiot knows better than this. Call the Executive Session and have the Board move to another room.
BTW, have you seen my secret recording device?

Property tax cut in Hall County
When a county rolls back a millage rate, some of that beneficial reduction leaves the county by lowering the rate to international corporations, national corporations, and other agencies based beyond the county lines.
To produce and capture a local benefit for strictly the resident homeowners who carry the major burden for property taxes, the county, in conjunction with local legislation, should increase exemptions, specifically the homestead exemption.
That will give a 'flat rate' tax reduction, spread across the county, targeted to those who live in the county and represent the wealth base.

Voter suppression
We have many voting problems as the Midterm elections race towards us. Not the least, Republican opposition to letting naturalized citizens vote who do not speak English.
There's no problem with those who are here and do not speak our language. The problem lies with those who are here who can hear and do not listen in any language.

Votes Missing in Hall County Primary
"It's a fact, Jack!"
Georgia operates legacy technology as voting machines. The machines fail in various ways during Election Day and election night. Sometimes, they just lock up in a terrible parody of the 2002 Windows machines. Just without the blue screen of death graphic.
So how do you know, Mike Parker. How do you know.
Each election, each poll manager must post on the door of each polling place, copies of the downloaded memory tapes from each machine.
On May 22nd, in the Georgia primary, machine #3 at Candler precinct #10 failed to show vote total in 4 races. Nothing for the races. Nothing.
Machine #3 recorded no votes for me in the Democratic primary, County Commission District 1. No votes for either Republican in County Commission District 1. No votes for Alana Watkins or Pat Andersen in HD-30 ... At least 2 contested races and 1 uncontested race had an under-count of cast ballots.
The Hall County Election Board either does not know or chooses to ignore the issue.
Locally, Alana Watkins holds digital images of the tapes. She shared those freely starting on May 23rd. Kim Copeland, Hall County Democratic Party Chair, took photos and videos of the tapes. He's shared those with the public.
It's documented and it's a fact.
Clunky old machines designed and built before the year 2002, work like shit.

Trump and Chamberlain, a contrast in style
"Workers covered the windows of government offices with sandbags and installed sirens in police stations to warn of approaching enemy bombers. By torchlight, they scarred the city’s pristine parks by digging miles of trenches to be used as air-raid shelters. A knot of traffic snarled the city as Londoners began an exodus. Hundreds of thousands who planned to stay in the city stood patiently in line for government-issued gas masks and air-raid handbooks. London Zoo officials even developed plans to station gun-toting men in front of cages to shoot the wild animals in case bombs broke open their cages and freed them."
Hitler had given a deadline to the world. 'Give me what I want, or there will be war.'
Britain lost a million souls in the War to End War. With 48 hours before Hitler's deadline, France and England met with two dictators, Hitler and Mussolini.
Neville Chamberlain came home and offered us 'Peace in Our Time.'
Britain got a few months of peace. Chamberlain got rave reviews for a time. The entire British island went all party city in celebration of peace.
How long that peace lasted after a direct negotiation with the 'leader of the Free World' and two dictators, Hitler and Mussolini.
North Korea will revisit the volatile stance toward our country. When it benefits their internal needs.
