The local delegation of the Georgia General Assembly should consider the plight of the disadvantaged. More money should be doled out for those who have limitations.
How many administrators, coaches and teachers will be removed from the system for the Monroe eligibility fiasco? They sure had to know what they were doing and know it was wrong. Plus innocent students were affected by this action.
What is going on at Walmart on Ledo Road? Hardly any registers open, long lines and now no price scanners.
It is NOT Carlton Fletcher’s personal, professional or legal responsibility to update citizens about potential businesses coming to their neighborhood. Wow, take some responsibility and quit blaming others. It is the neighborhood’s responsibility to stay informed. You have already mentioned you knew the potential owner’s name so take pro-active action.
Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Georgia should’ve been investigated decades ago. Along with the Georgia Insurance Commissioner who protects businesses like BC/BS instead of the premium payers.
Maybe some of these people who are griping about the liquor store in their neighborhood would get more sympathy and support if they actually worked for a living. And that’s not a statement based on race, it’s a comment on some of the people these individuals are choosing to follow.
If Clennon King is going to do all these documentaries about Albany, why doesn’t he live here? I’m sure he gets an interesting perspective on Southern history living in Boston.

No showboating, no hotdogging, just hard playing, blue collar teamwork. Congratulations to New England Patriots players and coaches. All of us could learn from their example, the best of all time. Great job Sony Michel from UGA and Trent Brown from Westover High.
The 2019 super Bowl might have been a perfect wrap-up of what the NFL has become: boring game, mindless ads, a horrible halftime show and inane broadcasting. The NFL has almost overnight become the NHL of professional sports.
The songbirds you don’t hear are a direct result of those spayed and neutered feral cats and their friends.
You can’t continuously double back over paramount facts and then use an adjective like “shortcomings.” The city should welcome a lawsuit by doing the right thing.
Warmists were predicting a new ice age in ‘79. Tell me, was that climate or weather?
Ralph Northam, the Democratic Governor of Virginia, in a KKK picture and Bill Mahar made a racist Popeye’s fried chicken joke to black GOP Congressman Will Hurd. I have stated before, Democrats are just as racist as Republicans.
Hilarious response to squawks about climate change. Rich people who have no concern other than themselves and the next dollar they make tell these goobers that the very real concept of climate change is a hoax — fake news!! — and they buy it hook, line and sinker.
