The referendum is two years away, but some metro Atlanta leaders say the Fulton County mayors acted unwisely in taking an early position on a regional transportation sales tax.
The 13 mayors – minus Atlanta’s Kasim Reed – called a news conference Wednesday to say they supported the sales tax, but only if other counties help Fulton and DeKalb pay for mass transit.
That led Clayton County Commission Chairman Eldrin Bell to say the mayors had created a “hostage position.” He said the current transit agencies – including MARTA and bus systems in Cobb and Gwinnett counties -- should mature before they are combined into a new regional transit agency.
