Obamas vs. Reagans in Watkinsville clean-up May 30
Mayor Jim Luken of Watkinsville is a former Marine who had remained largely nonpartisan is an incredibly partisan position. To his credit, he has remained above the fray even when those around him might be supporting one candidate or the other. In general, he has done what is best for the county seat of Watkinsville whether it might favor Republicans, Democratic people or neither or both.
Luken came up with the briiliant idea, and has approached the youngest county chair in the State in the G.O.P's Jay Hanley as well as his crusty old counterpart Jonathan Veit on the Democratic side, to have an hour long competition to see which political party can gather the most garbage on the streets of Watkinsville. This will take place 9 to 10 am Saturday, May 30th with the Oconee Democratic participants starting on Simonton Bridge and the Republicans starting on some abandoned development near the jail (just joking there - but I have not known too many Republicans to pick up garbage, so this should be interesting, and give new meaning to trash talking).
If you are an independent you can pick up garbage anywhere. If you are a Libertarian you can watch others pick up for you. If you are a green party member you will already be picking up garbage. And if you are an anarchist, well you would not want anyone to tell you what to do or how to do it.
I would well imagine that a certain local public relations expert will issue a press release and be pressed into service to pick up garbage from the northwest corner of the city. The parties will meet at Jittery Joe's for FREE COFFEE afterward.
Great idea and cause, Jim. Now if we can get Republicans to pick up ANY garbage.....
