Do Bull Dogs Pay Taxes?
This is an example of why there is voter apathy and what might tempt people to imagine their tax dollars are not being used wisely.
http://www.firstcoastnews.com/ reported the following story:
ATLANTA (AP) — Some Republican lawmakers are taking exception to the state issuing vanity license plates to Georgia’s longtime gridiron enemies — Florida Gator fans.
The legislators believe Georgia should issue special alumni plates only for states that will do the same for graduates of Georgia schools.Georgia currently issues plates for Clemson, Auburn and — as of this month — the University of Florida. Neither South Carolina, Alabama or Florida return the favor.
State Senate President Pro Tem Eric Johnson and House Majority Whip Barry Fleming said yesterday that they are introducing legislation that would require reciprocity.That could halt the issuance of the new Florida Gator tags. Those Georgians who already have their plates could see their days numbered.
It has always been portrayed in the movies that in an election year politicians do all that they can to lead voters to the polls. In fact some cinema suggests that politicians even help death row inmates obtain clemency or take up some humanitarian cause but none of that will be going on in Georgia!
