Never heard back from the Watkinsville City Government or any representative thereof about jumping out of an airplane for the benefit of ESP last week, which was rather shoddy leadership in my opinion. Hope it went well, and hope Chuck Williams retires from expanding his timber rights in the State Legislature and continues to work with Extra Special People in their much needed expansion. No one should have to be in a trailer, and this is emblematic of the callous attitude of the majority party toward those in need. The Oconee Enterprise > News > ESP inches closer to expansion

I know I may be in the minority in this opinion, but I do not think any government should have any role in celebrating religious holidays. I am fine with churches sponsoring religious events at government facilities, but think the role of government should end there. That said, it is a rather sad spectacle how this lack of Easter celebration went down, leaving egg on the faces of any number of quasi-governmental agencies.

"It's like the country song, 'He's a Brand New Man,'" Carter said. "We've been talking about the ethics commission for years and he's been doing nothing. He's failed to lead on the issue, and suddenly once he gets caught, once he gets challenged for re-election, he all of a sudden wants to delve into this issue. He had a chance to lead and he's failed to do that." Deal, Carter grapple over state ethics commission
