Spreading the word to the world about all things Oconee County Georgia related, concentrating in progressive Democratic political bent but certainly open to Libertarian and Republican news and views as well.

Uh, sorry about Sen. Bill Heath.

This arrogance is only going to expedite the death of the dominance of the Republican party in Georgia

Subject: Uh, sorry about Sen. Bill Heath.
Tonight, Sen. Bill Heath sent an email telling you how he feels about voters reaching out to him with important concerns: 'Don't bother!'
He considers your important action of signing a petition to be "childish."
We don't.
And we know you don't either.
Sen. Heath is a member of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee that oversees the state budget. It is his job responsibility to listen to the citizens of Georgia.
Accepting an appointment to this committee makes him responsible to every single tax paying Georgian. Period.
Instead of complaining about his job, or making fun of you for signing an online petition, he could ask questions about why Gov. Nathan Deal secured a job for Chip Rogers that pays $150,000 per year in tax dollars — more than twice that of any other executive producer.
He could vote against the proposed budget and stop Gov. Deal and GPB in their tracks.
But instead, he used his time, power and influence to write you and say your involvement in Georgia government is a "waste of time."
It's not. In fact, it's working. You've gotten under his skin. And you're joining more than 3,200 citizens from across the Georgia who share your beliefs.
Thank you for your time, your support and your signature. Rest assured we will not be intimidated by Sen. Heath into silence. In fact, we're going to turn up the heat.
OK- we're going to get back to work now.
Sincerely,
Executive Director
Better Georgia
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

That warrant was executed on July 1st. Upon entering the residence, it was discovered that Whipple also was cultivating marijuana plants. Whipple was not at the residence at the time the warrant was executed. He was arrested on July 3rd when he was located by OCSO deputies.
