If Republicans want to help Atlanta in any meaningful way, they could start by funding MARTA. This would include security. However, The GA GOP prefers to instigate a crisis, pretend to help, spike police surveillance and do nothing to solve the problem they created.
Governor Kemp should (temporarily) deploy the National Guard to MARTA immediately. Once fare gates are all finished and there's a serious plan for restoring safety and order in the system, they can be withdrawn. Enough is enough.
New York's Democratic governor deployed the Guard to the New York City Subway in 2024.
