John Walsh, Jr. will stay in office in Watkinsville
Watkinsville City Council member John Walsh asked forgiveness at the onset of the City Council meeting. He said he will stay in office until the end of his term instead of resigning from office following a recent DUI charge. The following is a brief snippet of his statement from the start of the meeting Wednesday in Watkinsville.
Walsh was arrested for DUI a few weeks back at the intersection of Norton Road and Simonton Bridge Road inside the city limits. He appeared generally remorseful at the meeting during his statement. The Mayor Jim Luken echoed his sentiments and commented on the seriousness of his charges. Otherwise the Watkinsville City Council meeting went pretty well with a signage fee waived during the Mayor's comments section. Two restaurants were scheduled for renewal of their beer and wine pouring license, but only Mirko's owner Mirko Digacomantonio appeared and received his renewal. Ann Miller-Andersen will evidently appear next month for the renewal of Maison Bleu. Four businesses were approved, including one for Brian Brodrick to rent houses in Watkinsville and Atlanta. Angela Dewberry will be running Fat Cat's Salon & Gifts at 1 School Street. Dana Seerley will be running the store Nature's Alternatives next to Sweet ReTreat in TownCenter and Stephen Cope will be taking care of detailing cars (one at a time) with Ultimate Car Care at 1061 Camden Park Drive.
