I did not agree with our Governor on the appointment of Kelly Loeffler and my confidence in my position on that is strengthened with this recent news. I had never heard of her before so had an open mind but lacked enthusiasm about it. Since watching her, hearing her early ads and believing that it takes a heavy dose of street smarts to navigate the hall of congress AND convince voters of your sustainability in office, I find her to appear to be

1-packaged

2- managed by others

3- lacking in authenticity

4- lacking experience

5-no genuine voice or strength of opinion

And now questionable decision making that calls into question her ethics. I suspect she had more of the kind of powerful contacts that our Governor wanted to benefit from to give her the nod over experience.

None of this makes her a winner.

If the primary reasons she was selected were that she was a DC outsider and a stellar example of strong business acumen, then I’ll take experience in navigating the halls of Congress any day. Not everyone makes the transition.

She won’t have my support.

I fully support a Corona-Virus stimulus plan. But, I do not agree with Erick that relatively high-income people who live in urban areas that have driven up the cost of living/housing deserve to be given government subsidies. People who have 20% equity in $500K houses and/or annual income >$100K, and/or jobs that allow on-line work are much less in dire need of government subsidies than people making <$50K who are out of work and not being paid because of mandatory government shutdowns.

There are a lot of people (like us) whose 2018 tax returns were pretty comfortable, but who are now out of work. If the GOP basis a stimulus on old information, they’ll just reinforce the notion that they are out of touch with reality.
