Judge halts Cobb laptop computer plan

Rarely are politicians held to the same standards as the private sector.So this is news.A judge in Georgia has called the politicians on their false advertising for a tax cut increase:

Superior Court Judge S. Lark Ingram ordered an immediate halt to a groundbreaking laptop computer program Friday because school leaders did not tell Cobb County voters what they wanted to do with a voter-approved special sales tax.

Ingram said the ruling had nothing to do with the merits of the program. But, she said, "fair notice of such use was not given to the public when the referendum for [the sales tax] was held."
