Rep. Edward Lindsey, R-Atlanta, majority whip of the Georgia House of Representatives asked me if I would talk to the proponents of the upcoming constitutional amendment on charter schools and get their side of the story. This was after he and I had publicly crossed swords over the issue. So I met with Tony Roberts, president of the Georgia Charter School Association, and Bert Brantley, the communications point man for the pro-amendment group, armed with the questions you have asked.
