BRACK: Solve Gwinnett traffic problems by approving referendum

By Elliott Brack  |  On May 9, 1977, I was attending a high-tech seminar in Boston, Mass.  About 2 p.m. sitting in class on a Wednesday, it started snowing.  Almost immediately the snow intensified. By 3:30, officials halted the class, saying we would resume the next morning. We returned to our hotel.

BRACK: The world embraces mass transit; So, too, should Gwinnett

By Elliott Brack  |  Watch out, Gwinnett. You don’t need to delay mass transit. While so far Gwinnett County has dilly-dallied on mass transportation, the rest of the world’s large cities are embracing mass transit.  However, now there appears to be a more hopeful attempt for Gwinnett to address mass transit, perhaps in the General Election in November.
