Tourism vs. Fire Safety?

Not too long ago the Atlanta City Council voted to lower sales taxes and commit to administrative cuts. The result was more jobs lost and the closing of a Historic Fire Station, the West End's Fire Station #7. That was in addition to the loss of hundreds of jobs. All to get over a deficit of $140 Million.

Shirley Franklin took the heat.

Now with three members of the council running for mayor, the media buzz is that they will consider and may approve a $40 Million investment in a new Civil Rights Center.

I don't see the city affording this...I personally consider it a judgement test.
