Does anyone understand how poorly this makes recently elected State Representative Chuck Williams seem? Forget me, I would not have been able to do much to make a stand against the Republican resegregation plan, since they have almost a super majority in both Houses of the Georgia General Assembly. But why support someone who will not fight for Oconee County? Mr. Williams, where are your morals, sir? You have barely been in office a month and you have already forsaken your home county. Have some standards, have a spine, show some support for your home and the party that brought you to the Georgia House of Representatives. And just to allay some of the name callers out there, I am not the least bit bitter about this cowardly map, just damn sad and upset that so many local voters were sold a bill of goods and did not realize how much this stinks and when the local GOP comes out against dividing Oconee County, it should provide some sense of outrage and indignation about the process of electing our supposed officials. Perhaps I should have made a bigger stink during the campaign, but what would you expect from a failed banker? Anything less?

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
