Better Georgia

Tough question.

Deal walks away
Last week CBS reporter Christopher King asked Nathan Deal an important questionfor Georgia taxpayers.
"Gov. Deal, did you give Chip Rogers a $150,000 per year job to get him out of the way at the capitol?"
It should have been an easy question. It should have been a question Gov. Deal was eager and ready to answer.
It wasn't.
Instead, Gov. Deal laughed uncomfortably and walked away as an assistant stepped in to say, "We've got to go."
Gov. Deal managed to get out a 'no.'
It's time for Gov. Deal to explain to taxpayers why Chip Rogers told a radio station in December that the new job at GPB is a political appointment. Why did Chip Rogers say Gov. Deal approached him with the idea?
And most important, why did Gov. Deal suddenly increase GPB's budget after years of cuts and after more than four dozen GPB employees were laid off?
Couldn't one of those 54 fired employees have done the job better than Chip Rogers?
It's not a laughing matter. These questions deserve a serious, full explanation.
Tell GPB to fire Chip Rogers.
Sincerely,
Bryan Long
Executive Director

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
