Getting Rid of MARTA
Introduction:
Have you ever heard of MARTA? MARTA is the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority.In other words, it is a special purpose government aimed at making transit in the metro-Atlanta area faster. It has many train systems and bus routes that make the roads less clogged. It is also supposed to make money.
MARTA has not reached that second goal. What was supposed to be a money making government, soon became a money eating hole. We are trying to get rid of the hole that MARTA has made and still is making in our budget. We belive that disbanding it would help other things such as education get better.
Essential/Driving Research Question:
Standards:
45a - explain the significance of membership in the Georgia General Assembly in regards to qualifications, terms, election and the duties of the members
45b - describe the organization of the Georgia General Assembly with emphasis on leadership and the committee system
45c - evaluate how the legislative branch fulfills its role as the lawmaking body for the State of Georgia
VOCABUARY: MARTA, representative, senate, General Assembly, Governor, Peach Pass
Intended Outcome:
We will gain in depth knowledge about the state government. We will contact our state official.
