Couple of things

- In the good news department, a common sense ordinance was upheld, a frivalous lawsuit defeated and Chuck Jones lost. In the bad news department, Judge Leah Sears dabbles with craziness in her ridiculous dissent.

- Athens-Clarke County Mayor Heidi Davison shared some brief thoughts on the state EPD lifting the watering restrictions.

- It is somewhat disappointing that the Georgia Supreme Court decision came via a surprisingly close 4-3 vote. For starters, the lawsuit never even should have made it to the high court and arguably should have been dismissed for numerous errors conducted by the students' legal team. Yet, despite such a poorly organized case, three justices voted to overturn a legally sound noise ordinance.

- An interesting chronology of Angel Food Ministries, and my contention with the program is simple ... if you want to run it as a business, then have it set up as a business. Instead, the Wingo family is using its non-profit status to skirt paying taxes on a variety of items, thus maximizing its profit by exploiting others. Run it as a business, and I won't care at all that Joe Wingo is taking home $500,000 a year.
