The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) bills itself as 'the
regional planning and intergovernmental coordination agency for the 10-county
area'. Its stated mission is to 'unify the region's collective resources to prepare
the metropolitan area for a prosperous future'.
The State legislature, having legalized the usurpation of
authority from Georgia citizens to derive such outcomes for themselves in a
free market, established this centralized team of politicians, appointees and
bureaucrats to collect and administer hundreds of millions of dollars from
federal, state and local taxes to further their respective program and favored
interests.
The ARC has become, in effect, a fourth - though unelected
and therefore nearly invisible, unaccountable - layer of
government designed to influence and, where possible
control, all land use, water rights, transportation, and infrastructure for the
5 million residents within its 10 county jurisdiction. Ironically,
ARC by-laws strictly limit input from the public to 10
minutes per monthly meeting, subject to board approval, on a case basis. In its
September 24th meeting, the 2014 Bilderberger Kassim Reid, Mayor of Atlanta,
led 18 fellow board members in voting to continue such draconian restrictions
on the public they purportedly serve. As a result, only preselected viewpoints
affecting such decisions will be aired and ARC board decisions will continue to
go largely unchallenged.
This is the seed of soviet-style shadow government that time
and again has resulted in corruption, systematic elimination of citizen liberty
and eventual totalitarianism. Freedom's price is an informed and engaged
citizenry who demand representation for taxation.
