For more information or to provide your input, please email Cobb District 4 Commissioner Lisa Cupid at lisa.cupid@cobbcounty.org.

The Problem with Cobb like Gwinett like Marta is there all privately companies with no part of US Federal bus transit, so they receive no federal funding except start up cost, if they were you bus fare rates are regulated and a lot of free programs would be available for the elderly and disabled and lower bus fare like my own Dade County, Florida were the rate is still $1.00 per ride.   more ›

The District 2 commissioner and the Cobb Commission chairman will take the oath of office for their second terms on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.

Cobb Board of Commissioners Will Be Predominantly Female

Now that the Cobb Board of Commissioners is predominantly female, will the way the county is run change?

In addition to running most U.S. households, making the majority of car purchasing decisions, shuffling the kids to and from various activities, cooking most meals at home and even laying out clothes for their husbands, women are gaining numbers as elected officials across the country, including in Cobb. After community advocate Lisa Cupid captured 76 percent of the vote in Tuesday's run-off, she became the lone contender for South Cobb's District 4 commissioner seat. Because of this, she will likely win the November election, which will mean that she will join Commissioners Helen Goreham and JoAnn Birrell, creating the first majority female Board of Commissioners in the history of the county. Cobb Commission Chairman Tim Lee, who narrowly…

Dearest Charles A Commission seat is hardly running the world. However, there are several examples in the Bible even before Jeremiah, where God used women. Don't forget Deborah, both a prophetess, judge and warrior. Ester was used to save her entire nation. Let's not overthink think this.   more ›

Know Before You Vote: Runoff Election Day TODAY

Voters on Tuesday will decide on a Cobb Commission Chairman, a South Cobb Commissioner and a State Court Judge, among other offices.

It's D-Day for those politicians facing a run-off in local elections. Cobb voters will go to the polls again to decide if they want community advocate Lisa Cupid to represent them as District 4 commissioner or if they want to keep Woody Thompson in his seat. Thompson has recently made headlines for his questioning of whether parents could effectively fulfill the role of county commissioner and for admitting that he changed parties to win four years ago. Cupid has spoken out about the need for transportation, even suggesting extending MARTA to Six Flags, the fact that industrial and residential areas are disharmonious when next to each other and that South Cobb hardly receives the resources and services that other parts of the county …
