In a nice wrinkle to the story - many of the jobs (I’ve heard the number is around 10K) would likely go to union construction workers - so this one pits the labor bosses against the greenies.
It would seem that it would have been a good idea to have the tax vote at the same time as the general election. That would maximize turnout and ensure its defeat.
Turnout in the July primary will favor Republicans - on the presidential level there won't be a Democrat contest and the Republican side could be lively. There are no state wide offices on the ballot.
So if you are looking to defeat the initiative you want to keep it in the summer when motivated (and conservative) voters will be participating.

Would you coerce a parent to have a child vaccinated for any communicable disease? Measles? Chicken Pox? Diphtheria? Polio?
Well we've been seeing evidence of so called 'herd immunity' breaking down because misguided parents bought the vaccine causes autism bunkum. Among the many advances made in public health over the last 150 years or so is near universal vaccination for common infectious disease.
If you don't want your kid vaccinated then go the 'opt out' route.
That's the problem isn't it?I'm a GA voter but spend a lot of time in Macon Co. The Schuler's predecessor was a crook. Hopefully someone of character and conviction will step up.
