ActBlue Scandal Deepens: Why Are Some Cobb Democrats Still Fundraising on This Platform?
It’s finally happening: ActBlue, the Democrats’ money machine, the platform responsible for funneling over $16 billion into progressive campaigns since 2004, is imploding before our very eyes. And while the entire operation is under fire for shady donation practices, potential foreign interference, and a full-blown whistleblower scandal, guess who’s still clinging to it like a life raft? Cobb County Democrats.

Runoff Fatigue: Cobb County Stuck in Costly Election Cycle Thanks to Democrat Leadership
In what has become a cycle of career politicians seeking office after repeated losses, democrats Erick Allen and Jaha Howard are once again competing in a race that has failed to energize voters. With turnout in the primary election below 4%, one political insider predicts that the upcoming special election runoff could see even lower participation—potentially dropping below 3%.

Cobb County Votes to Opt Out of HB 581—A Win for Taxpayers
After weeks of public debate and community input, the Cobb County Board of Commissioners has officially voted to opt out of House Bill 581 (HB 581), securing a significant win for taxpayers who were concerned about potential automatic tax increases and reduced transparency in local tax policy.
The decision, reached following a final public hearing held Tuesday night, means that Cobb County will not adopt the tax formula outlined in HB 581, a move that keeps existing taxpayer protections in place. This outcome aligns with the Cobb County Board of Education’s earlier vote to reject the measure, reinforcing local leaders’ commitment to fiscal responsibility and government accountability.

Federal Judge Blocks Biden DOJ’s Race-Based Hiring Mandate in Cobb County
Former President Biden’s Office of Civil Rights attempted to influence local policy, directly impacting Cobb County. Just days before President Trump’s administration took office on January 20, 2025, the Biden administration orchestrated a “Consent Decree” with Cobb County.
This agreement, driven by Cobb County Commissioners under the leadership of Chairwoman Lisa Cupid, was designed to settle allegations of racial discrimination in hiring and promotions within the Cobb County Fire Department.
However, Judge William M. Ray of North Georgia’s Federal District Court DENIED the joint decree motion filed by Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) and Cobb County. Among the rejected provisions were a $750,000 payout to eligible African American claimants and the creation of 16 priority hire positions with retroactive seniority—essentially race-based promotions.

Last week, a judge rejected former Commissioner Jerica Richardson’s latest appeal to remain in office, bringing this saga to a close. As the door closes on her, another lingering issue for South Cobb citizens is Why is former Commissioner Monique Sheffield, whose term ended on December 31, 2024, still at the commission dais?

Embarrassment: The Downfall of Cobb County’s Court System Under Connie Taylor
What we have unfolding in Cobb County Superior Court is nothing short of a complete disaster, and the one person at the center of this mess is Clerk Connie Taylor. Let’s not sugarcoat it: Taylor’s incompetence and lack of accountability have thrown the entire judicial system in Cobb County into chaos, and it’s the citizens—hardworking, law-abiding citizens—who are suffering because of it.

When Politicians Try to Slip One By Us…
How many of us feel good — in this economy or ever — about taking an unnecessary risk with our largest investment, our homes? How about taking risks with our entire community?
That may be about to happen, whether we want it or not, due to an October Surprise our county commission chairman has proposed (on the Cobb County website).
It’s a bit hard to find if you’ve not heard of it and won’t be discussed until the week after the election, if the commissioners even get to it. And it merits a heap of discussion.
