Evening everyone. Good news from Lee Becker regarding the letter campaign for a public hearing on wastewater discharge into Barber Creek. Initial indications are that the number of letters was sufficient. Thanks to all who wrote!



Cheers,

Dear Friends,



By my count, we sent 50 letters to the EPD asking for a public hearing on the Oconee County request to begin discharging treated wastewater from its Rocky Branch sewage plant into Barber Creek.



I suspect the final total was higher, as some people who promised they were writing have not yet confirmed they did so. I'm optimistic we'll get a hearing.



The letters came from people directly affected by the plans and from people concerned more generally about the future of Oconee County.



By the way, I have written some comments about my efforts to get key documents on the Oconee County permit.



Getting information from the County and from the state Environmental Protection Division has proven to be quite a challenge. I've posted these comments at

Thanks for everything you have done.



Lee

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

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
