BRACK: Gwinnett GOP comes out against local transit referendum

By Elliott Brack | What?  The Gwinnett Republican Party, the group that could not even field candidates in all of the Gwinnett races,  finally rears its head, coming down against the transit issue in Gwinnett. We would never have thought that they would be so bold to speak out on this issue, when they have been so timid this political season.

BRACK: MARTA referendum may be most important ever in Gwinnett

By Elliott Brack | JAN. 15, 2019  |  The March 19, 2019 referendum concerning Gwinnett County becoming a partner the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit System (MARTA) may be the most important election that Gwinnett has ever had.

It will show if Gwinnett County is ready to adapt the modern conveniences of the future, or is stuck in the mud in antiquated transportation systems.
