@Joe Johnson: Joe come back. I think everyone missed your point. I interpreted you question about how this comment section would look if the offender were non-White as such: If the offender were Black, for instance, this board would be slammed with mentions of baby mommas, welfare, thugs and Obama. None of that seems to have made this board. However, there are a lot of folks focused on the simple, non-threatening, thought provoking question you posed. Three pages and counting worth of Joe Johnson playing the race card. I'm not sure exactly how you played it, but according to the board, it's been played. Well played, Joe, well played

Of note: The Athens-Clarke County attorney highlighted that the proposed times are, in essence, placeholders for the commission to change or keep as it pleases.   Full text of the Use of Public Right-of-Ways ordinance draft is below. read more
