| Description | Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin won re-election to a second term on Tuesday, another seal of approval of the city's first woman mayor.
Running against minor candidates, Franklin had more than 90 percent of the vote Tuesday night with about one-third of the precincts counted.
Franklin believes there is still room for improvement in the way the city is run. She wants to focus on fine-tuning the budget, decreasing homelessness, increasing job opportunities by 60,000 and finishing the expansion of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
"I think there will be a resurgence in Atlanta," she said.
The proposed Maynard H. Jackson International Terminal is part of a broader expansion project at the airport that includes a fifth runway. It was originally supposed to open next year, but has been pushed back several times. |
