Cobb County now to check all business licencees. Thanks, D.A. King
I'm sure this was brought about because of a lawsuit and publicity but the story, short take, goes like this. The state passed a law that requires state and county offices to check for legal residence status before granting "public benefits." This is an effort to cut off those benefits to illegal aliens. One such benefit is a business license. Cobb county tried to weasel around it by claiming that their "business license" only applied to a few professions and the other license that was required to do business wasn't really a business license. My ass, they were dancing and word mincing. Anyway, D.A. King, local activist, took it to them in a big way and they've had a change of heart.
This is good news. The bad news is wondering how many other counties are still not in compliance?
Do your jobs, check everybody.

In an aboutface, the chairman of the Cobb County Commission said Friday that county government wants to begin requiring proof of legal residency for all business license applications and renewals.
Sam Olens, who previously said the residency proof only was required for about 10 government-licensed occupations — such as sales solicitors, carnivals, and taxi driver, now says it should extend to all businesses.
