Cobb GOP chairman: Braves transportation fixes can’t include ‘moving people into Cobb by rail from Atlanta’

Sign

Jim Galloway this morning passes along a statement from Cobb County GOP Chairman Joe Dendy. In addition to stressing that any deal to bring the Atlanta Braves doesn’t raise taxes, he puts on his transportation planner hat:

“It is absolutely necessary the solution is all about moving cars in and around Cobb and surrounding counties from our north and east where most Braves fans travel from, and not moving people into Cobb by rail from Atlanta.”

Remove the Braves reference and this quote could have been ripped from a 1970s copy of the Atlanta Journal.
