Trey Downs Posts, Then Removes, County Credit Card Numbers in political ploy gone awry

Hey Wendell Dawson and Tony Townley and the rest of the contributors to the campaign of Trey Downs, would you like your credit card numbers posted on line for the rest of us to see and abuse? I don't think so. I hope this opens the eyes and minds of some of the last few undecided voters in Oconee County as to why Mr. Downs needs a little more seasoning and experience before he becomes Sheriff in this Oconee County. This act of negligence would border on criminal if it were not in the realm of political free speech.

This is what we like to call a game changer. Use a little common sense

I just emailed this message to Trey Downs myself and it clearly explains how I, as a citizen, feel about this.

Quote:
I received your flyer in the mail today campaigning for sheriff. I must say that this piece of propaganda was a waste of good ink and paper and the money spent on postage could have been better served elsewhere. As a long time Oconee County resident I can say I am quite happy with the current leadership and integrity of Sheriff Scott Berry. Knowing very little about you, I could give your leadership abilities the benefit of the doubt until I learned about your stupid Facebook stunt! The very idea that you would post confidential information such as credit card numbers and other information on the internet for the whole world to read just shows what an idiot you are! Are you so blinded by your political pursuit that you would do something as juvenile and irresponsible as that? You obviously do not even begin to comprehend the gravity of the responsibility to confidentiality, integrity, and demeanor necessary to perform such an important role of leadership as the Sheriff of this great county. Your actions clearly demonstrate that you do not possess these qualities. I find it appalling that you react in such a manner of poor judgement that is consistent with that of an unbridled teenager rather than a mature adult. I truly hope that the citizens of this county will be made aware of your antics by those supporting our current Sheriff. The last thing this county needs or wants is a Barney Fife wanna be Sheriff!

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

THis has next to nothing to do with Oconee County with the possible exception of the location of his former office, but a former colleague of mine on the radio got popped today for four counts. Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after...

A deep wound waiting to be healed - restoring order and dignity in the city cemetery

Image
The Watkinsville City Cemetery is an oasis amidst the houses on the east side of the municipality, near the neighborhood once called Sidney. There is a large section of the cemetery that remains a mystery, but perhaps we can work together to dignify the eternal resting spot somewhat better than the current neglected and forgotten (not to mention unmarked) graves of 70 people, more than likely of African-American descent. They deserve to be honored as well. An effort has been undertaken to repair the graves with fill dirt to stop the continued erosion amongst the graves. The most recent grave and bench belong to Larry Sheats,  and as any one who played basketball at Herman C. Michael Park or knew him otherwise  can attest, he was among the best people this county has ever seen. Larry was always ready to help. Now it is our turn to help. Do it for someone you knew there, maybe the Hardens, or the Downs, or any number of other people, but allow me to reminisce about how L...

I strongly disagree with the impending demolishing of the iconic Watkinsville Water Tower

Image
I know the Watkinsville Water Tower near where the "Big Spring" of what was one called Big Springs, Georgia serves no functional purpose anymore. I know it is a hazard. I know it is rusty and old and past its usefulness for the most part. I see a purpose beyond the aesthetic and instead as a possible financial benefit.  I know there is a way to keep it and make money for our municipality. I wonder who is doing the seemingly shoddy job of removing it (or at least preparing to raze it) and who stands to make money off that?  The dismantling of the Watkinsville Water Tower has already caused one gas leak and I can only imagine what problems await the demolition of the dinosaur.  If it is only because a group of kids have been crawling up it, then build a fence around it. I would think the City of Watkinsville would benefit and making monthly lease fees if they would instead do what about 90% of these abandoned water towers do and that is become a cellular telephone tow...
