You get the flyers in the mail. You do your research. You meet them and ask questions. You might even campaign for them. And they happen to win. Less than four years later you are disappointed at the job they did and what they accomplished. Worse, you might even feel that they did more harm than good. What happens to people once they get elected? W…

Voters in Johns Creek are being contacted with a Push Poll attempting to shape your opinion. How can you be for a candidate if they are against this issue or that issue? What they are really doing is implying to you, without any rebuttal from the candidate that they were against these issues. It's really a lousy way to run a campaign. The question …

Sometimes it seems we are in an upside-down world. Two Per Cent Growth in GDP is celebrated. Substitute teachers are not allowed to create her own list of good and bad students in a classroom. No one seems to be discussing the best improvement in reducing traffic congestion in the history of Johns Creek. Public Works Director Lynette Baker and her …

Council Member Chris Coughlin is seeking re-election this fall in Johns Creek. During our interview we discuss council progress over the last 4 years including successes and opportunities. Some of the successes we touch on are the property tax reduction, progress with the traffic lights, State Bridge-141 intersection, the Walk To School program, ho…

Agree or be called divisive. That's how it has been on the Johns Creek City Council since Council Member Endres was first elected. Before that it was the residents speaking out at the Public Comments that were divisive. Despite one of the most productive City Councils we have had over the last twelve months, we see candidates running on platforms t…

Property taxes are boring. The Millage Rate Process may be even worse. We do not talk directly about the taxes but indirectly. Instead we talk about this thing called the Millage Rate. The Millage Rate can drop but your rates could rise. For greater transparency and greater dialogue among the elected officials and the Public, I am suggesting that w…

Council Member Endres discusses the ins and outs of property taxes and how they impact the residents of Johns Creek. Property taxes are a fact of life. But how they really work remains shrouded behind a wall of mystery. How did they conclude your home rose in value by 27% without someone buying it? Why are commercial properties not rising in value.…

Earlier this year, I switched to a Flexnet Smart Meter to see if I could save some dollars by shifting my power consumption. Here are the results, and what I learned. June 2015 Lower by 13.45% July 2015 Lower by 10.45% August 2015 Lower by 29.05%Oleh EJ Moosa Presents The Naked Truth

Wherever you reside, chances are you know when you need to leave by to avoid the brunt of traffic. But sometimes, you haven’t a choice, and you are stuck with the slow crawl towards your destination. As the costs are rather staggering when computed, it really only makes sense to begin tackling these problems today, and not waiting another 2, 3 or e…

Agreeing to Georgia Power's Nights and Weekends Rate plan, I received another new Smart It took a few days to figure it out, and since there is nothing on the internet, I will share with you what I have learned. You will master yours in no time at all. We will also talk about rates and why it's just not that clear.…

Another First Quarter in the USA has passed, and once again we are blaiming the weather for seasonally adjusted numbers that are bad. That seems a bit of a stretch, and it's time we begin to look honestly at what is happening before it's too late to change our direction. Should we accept the idea that we just had a bad winter or should we challenge…

The First Quarter GDP numbers were a bust. Reduced even further in the first revision, we are being told there's nothing to worry about. You better be worried. This economy has hit the wall. Corporate earnings are not just s slowing in growth, but are declining. We are being told it's because of the Winter. It's not. Winter just happened to occur a…

With today's 1st quarter GDP release, we also had the economy's profit for the fourth quarter of 2012 released. And it is not looking good. We will discuss profits before and after taxes, what the trend is, and where we may be headed. We will also talk about what sectors in the economy are fairing the worst when it comes to profits, and what that m…

Yesterday's release of the NFP number came with major revisions to past data (1991- present). Sudddenly they have more clarity about Jan 1991? Listen as I discuss where we are today with job creation from a different perspective, stripped of the spin that you heard when the data was presented to us by main stream medua…
