Could an opponent be brewing for Bob Smith?

State Representative Bob Smith may think everything is rosy back home in 113th district, but disgruntled constituents have approached a well financed couple to ask either one of them to consider taking on the House Appropriations Committee member. This could make local races rather interesting in the fall. More than one person has approached a former candidate for Mayor of Watkinsville to run against Board of Commissioners chairman G. Melvin Davis, but so far this person has declined to accept the offers. There are a lot of angry voters in Oconee County, and it will be no small feat to organize that anger into a viable political movement. So stay tuned, intrepid reader, and I will attempt to gather every shred of gossip, innuendo and hearsay and turn it into facts that will have incumbents quaking in the beds from Farmington to Bishop to Washington to Watkinsville.
