- Athens-Clarke County opted against waiving landfill fees in response to the storm, while representatives from one neighborhood said the elected officials were the most helpful throughout the process.
- Investigations begin for The Georgia Theater fire.
- So Jon and Kate are getting divorced, which isn't terribly shocking. I wonder what the over-under is for Jon landing a random spot on a celebrity reality show is.
- While I agree that the potential impact on the budget is a concern, it surely shouldn't be one that deters positive local tax reform. The counter would be to increase the tax base in other areas, primarily through the redevelopment of depleted commercial areas thus raising property values in some areas and encouraging more sales tax revenue. The circuit breaker idea is a valid idea that needs to be pursued.
- I've argued for it before, but not filling the budget gaps with the available revenue is ridiculous. It's in the bank, and it's ready to be used. Instead, the Oconee County Commission is all about cutting popular programs and raising fees on parents.
- Maybe now that we have multiple polls showing that more than 70 percent of the country favors a public option in any type of health reform - coupled with the fact that the House of Representatives has stated it can't pass any reform without a public option - we can get the three or four dawddling senators to actually embrace what the overwhelming majority of the nation wants.
- Ed McMahon died.
