  – super fund sites, attracting economic growth but damage to local environment

– SPLOST projects = are we funding what’s best for us?

– pre-K, better access to vocational education

– minority groups representation ( racial minority, women, elderly, young, disabled )

Healthcare

– building better drainage systems, roadways, electric grid etc.

Government

– representative candidates

– flipping 16 seats puts redistricting on the table
