Taylor skips rural
board meetings
ATLANTA (MNS) - Mark
Taylor has long championed
rural economic development
but was not around Monday
when an agency board he
belongs to voted to grant
sls million to improve rural
airports.
Records show that wasn’t
the only meeting he missed
of the One Georgia Authority
board that he is part of by
law as lieutenant governor.
He’s missed the last four.
Gov. Roy Barnes pushed
the legislation to create the
agency as a way to distribute
millions of dollars each year
to struggling, rural commu
nities. The money comes
from part of the state’s
share of the multiyear
settlement from the major
tobacco companies. Taylor is
one of only six members on
the board, which is chaired
by the governor - a job
Taylor is running for as the
Democratic nominee. He’s
tiying to unseat Republican
Gov. Sonny Perdue, who has
attended all the meetings
Taylor missed.
“When you have an empty
chair over and over again,
people notice it,” said Nancy
Cobb, One Georgia executive
director.
During the meetings
Taylor has missed, since last
October, the agency board
has approved $17.6 million
in grants for local projects
that would generate an esti
mated 3,000 jobs. It also
launched the AlßGeorgia
airport-improvement pro
gram and a $lO million ini
tiative to enhance Internet
connections in small towns.
The board’s quarterly
meetings are held in differ
ent small towns across the
state and typically last just
an hour or so. The loca
tion is usually set a month
beforehand.
During the Barnes admin
istration, Taylor chaired
the reconstituted Rural
