Interesting article on Milton County

Whether you're for or against splitting up Fulton county, here is an interesting article on the history of Milton County. I for one am annoyed at the constant media portrayal of this being only against the 'rich white North Fulton' versus the 'poor black South Fulton'. Actually, this is all about MONEY and REPRESENTATION. Fulton County is too large to govern properly and the Fulton County Commission seems to only tax North Fulton more and provide less services to them in return. Last I checked that's why our country was founded (e.g. taxation without representation); why not allow Milton to declare its independence? Yes, I know that there will be duplicated services as the article states; yes there will be some ineffeciencies at first. However, I can't believe that Milton County could ever be as much as a mess as Fulton County is today. Fulton County stepped in to help years ago; now it's stepping in to 'help itself' and send the money back to others. I don't think that's fair and if I lived in Fulton I'd be all over this issue. By the way-that's one reason WHY I won't live in ATL or Fulton again. Too many taxes and too little service. Again, my 2 cents. Happy Monday : )
