Oconee sheriff boycotts gun dealer over gun ban to public

Yes, what is the reason for a law-abiding citizen to own a semi-automatic weapon? How about a good Christian?

Georgia Power balks at Senate solar power proposal

"Spokeswoman Christy Ihrig said in a statement that the proposed bill would illegally infringe on the company’s territory and that the introduction of a new supplier could drive up rates for customers because utilities would be required to hike costs."

Don't they usually argue that competition lowers costs? How would they be required to hike costs? This doesn't make sense, except that Georgia Power is afraid of this bill.

    Draft language of so-called curfew ordinance

    Full text of the Use of Public Right-of-Ways ordinance draft is below. Highlight: Would set hours of operation of each Athens-Clarke County "building campus" -- e.g. City Hall, the courthouse and Dougherty Street government building -- at 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Park hours would either be set by the Athens-Clarke County manager or the Mayor and Commission. The ordinance has been derided by members of Occupy Athens and others as seeking to enforce a curfew on public property, thus damaging their First Amendment right to peacably assemble for long-term protests. read more
