Couple of things

- There are two students seeking the mayoral seat in Athens-Clarke County as Glenn Stegall filed a 'Declaration of Intention to Accept Campaign Contributions' with Athens-Clarke County on May 14, 2009 and designated 'mayor' as the name of the office he was seeking. Qualifying to run doesn't begin until June 2010. As my earlier post notes, Stegall is slated to be the speaker at the Oct. 10 breakfast meeting of the Athens Area Democratic Party to provide his perspective on upcoming education reform proposals, however the organizers of the event failed to note that Stegall was running for mayor.

- I've been digging around on this - and I've got some thoughts on it as well - but I'll have to wait until this afternoon to work on them.

- Prayers with Janet Pomeroy's family. She was, quite simply, good people.

- Lee Becker notes a positive that I foresaw coming with Oconee County's governmental restructuring ... the return of the possibility of an economic development partnership with Athens-Clarke County. Oconee County Commissioner John Daniell, who supports the partnership, gets a pat on the back from me for bringing this back up.

- If it's the law, it's the law, but ... something seems terribly out-of-whack when you're shutting down options that fail to impact anyone in a negative manner, and it's beyond me that it could take three-and-a-half months to get this thing worked out. This just sounds an awful lot like the whole Nucci's Space fiasco.
