forty mil to walton county

Citizens for Oconee's Future, Inc.
P. O. Box 1301
Watkinsville, GA 30677

This message is going to a small group of citizens who have shown an interest in issues impacting your neighborhoods and the County. It appears the Board of Commissioners is about to jump into an agreement with Walton County that will obligate the County to spend in excess of $100,000,000 on a water project with Walton county. The initial spending will be $40,000,000 which is to be raised by a bond issue to be done jointly with Walton county. There is a good possibility the BOC will vote on this at the next meeting which is Thursday Feb. 8th. That is a different night from the regular meeting night because the members will be in a meeting on Tuesday. They are about to jump into this having made little of the specifics available to the public, without a working agreement on operation of the water project and with little or no consideration of less expensive water.

Please come to this meeting. It is important that the Commissioners see that some in the county care about what they are committing the county to spend. Our children and grandchildren will be paying this debt long after we are all gone. Please take the time to attend this meeting. This is far more important to the future of the county than any rezone issue. The Commissioners need to be looking at a room full of concerned citizens when they vote.

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
