Questions for the day - please feel free to answer

  1. Does anyone else see a potential conflict of interest with the Williams brothers profiting a cool $300K off the Watkinsville land purchase for a new Board of Education building that has no drawings or funds slated for construction? 
  2. Does this eliminate the possibility of the Oconee County government purchasing a tract adjacent to the jail for any future judicial building?
  3. Why do these backdoor deals seem so sleazy?
  4. How many of the current Oconee County Board of Education will be in office after the next election cycle? I put the over/under at one right now.
  5. Will any member of the Oconee County Board of Education win in any other office? Rumors have circulated about Mack Guest wanting to run against current Oconee County Board of Commissioners member John Daniell (ostensibly because Daniel sees the light about working with Clarke County on a joint economic development plan). I say run and Guest will be humiliated by the massive backlash for all the considerably poor decisions by the Board of Education, not limited to covering up the softball coach carrying on an extramarital affair with one of his recent ex players, the poor timing of their raise, the termination and aftermath of the North Oconee HS principal John Osborne, facility inequality, the second gymnasium at OCHS, etc.
  6. Is this enough to engineer a recall election? 
  7. What would be if this is not enough malfeasance? 
  8. How many Oconee County residents have stayed out of the local restaurants belonging to Oconee County Board of Education chair David Weeks in Town Center?
  9. When will a leader emerge to run against the status quo on the Board of Education?
  10. Have you had enough of sweetheart deals at the expense of the taxpayers and one time educational excellence of Oconee County?

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
