Atlanta News Headlines March 20, 2019

Clayton County will get a $280 million boost over the next five years to their school budget after a special election yeterday for the special purpose local option sales tax.

The AJC reports an “enthusiastic thumbs up,” yet the number of voters casting a ballot could barely fill two high schools in Geaorgia, with only 5,588 out of 175,036 eligible voters casting ballots, or, about   3% of the electorate.
