We kept Watkinsville wonderful once again - incumbents Garrett, Massey win big

Watkinsville City Council will remain the same with the resounding re-elections of City Council members Chuck Garrett and Connie Massey Tuesday evening at the new Oconee County Administration Building result room, appropriately named "The Watkinsville Room." Incumbent Massey was re-elected with 309 votes to three-time challenger Carolyn A. Maultsby's 121 votes, or more than a two-to-one margin. Incumbent Garrett was also re-elected by a slightly lower margin, garnered 298 votes or two-time challeger Rebecca Billings' 142 votes. Billings ran against Mayor Brian Brodrick two years ago in 2021, and this time she ran for the city council instead. Brodrick was unopposed, and apparently Watkinsville 16 voters attempted to write-in an unqualified candidate. He earned 351 votes.

send Ort your love

​ Friends of William Orten Carlton: Ort is in the hospital and could use some love. He is not able to use his phone because his hands are too shaky. Send a card or a letter (or flowers of course!) to him at St. Mary's Hospital, room 5001, 1230 Baxter St, Athens, GA 30606. Local friends including Kurts Rekkids Bookz are providing updates on Facebook.
