A conversation with the people is essentially the call of the day, representatives of the diverse groups all cite.  From funding to location, the majority constituency, despite concentrated efforts of approval by media saturation, does NOT want to move forward just yet on a Commission vote..."We clearly have a failure not just to omit to communicate, but refuse to allow communication exchange from the Chair."

The Concerned Citizens' Press Conference is slated for Monday, 3:30 p.m., to address the Cobb Braves Commission Vote. The groups will be speaking out on the Chair force-feeding the County the Braves stadium, and all levels of development answers needed to be put before the residents prior to a vote.
