A little more ...

Having talked to a few folks regarding the random note in David Poythress's weekly campaign update that stated that Athens-Clarke County District One Commissioner Doug Lowry told the gubernatorial candidate that the Unified Government might have to transfer money from the General Fund to the Clarke County Board of Education if the latter can't meet its budgetary needs, I've detected two strong sentiments ...

- It's not being discussed and, even if it was, it would require some legal hoop jumping given the separation of the two entities;

- There's a consensus that Poythress is fundamentally mistaken on this, not Lowry.

I'm waiting to hear back from Lowry to get his version of their conversation.
