Timothy Echols of Winterville and Bubba McDonald of Commerce continued to embarrass themselves and make Northeast Georgia the laughingstock of those few who pay attention to the Public Service Commission. One person who I think would do a much better job is former candidate for Department of Labor chair Darryl Hicks.  He will be speaking locally at Krimson Kafe Feb. 25th. I would recommend everyone to attend this speech.  Of PSC loggerheads and letterheads
