Tuesday is Primary Day - get out and vote please

Tuesday, July 31st is the Primary Day in the State of Georgia. The polls are open from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm at your usual polling place. Here is a link for polling places in Oconee County and three of these precincts (Athens Academy, Malcolm Bridge and Bogart) get to vote in the Regina Quick-Doug McKillip race for the Georgia House of Representatives.

I have made a robo-call in favor of voting for Regina Quick and would hope that voters would recognize the reasons I have listed previously why to vote for her instead of McKillip.

In Oconee County, there is almost no reason whatsoever to choose a Democratic ballot - and this is coming from the chair of the Oconee County Democratic Committee. I have listed before what I think is best for Oconee County, and I will briefly do so again.

I believe it is in Oconee County's best interest to vote for Chuck Horton over Melvin Davis for Chairman of the Board of Commissioners. I think that it will be in the best interests of Oconee County to vote for Sheriff Scott Berry over Trey Downs for Sheriff of Oconee County. I would similarly recommend electing Tom Odom for Board of Education chair over Mike Hunter.  I support Pamela Lohr Hendrix over Jennifer Riddle for Tax Commissioner. Mark Saxon is my choice over Tammy Gilland, and I also favor Jim Luke over Sarah Bell for Board of Commissioner races.

I also believe that the T-SPLOST is a good thing for all of us to alleviate traffic.

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
