Some interesting news focused on Athens-Clarke County coming from David Poythress's weekly campaign update ...
Earlier in the day, Elizabeth and I had the opportunity to visit Doug Lowery, Athens-Clarke County District 1 Commissioner. We spent nearly an hour talking about local issues and how the current state leadership has slowly taken local control away from cities and municipalities. Commissioner Lowery lamented the probability of having to rely on the Unified government’s general fund to assist the Athens-Clarke County school system with possible budget shortfalls--property owners are currently being taxed at the highest allowable millage rate, which won’t produce enough revenue to make up for the state cuts to education.
