Is Lee County Commission Calloway Trip justified?

No Comments 20 January 2010

Before getting into the meat of this post, I want to thank Lee County Clerk Christi Dockery for being so responsive to my requests and being pro-active in making sure I get all announcements sent to the local media.

SWGAPolitics.com Year in Review

1 Comment 08 January 2010

Wow. 2009 is over. We saw quite a bit happen during the year. We’ve seen one of the top-three most powerful politicians in the state drop out of the Georgia governor’s race under the auspices of his health, only to have the rumor come out later in the year that it was actually over a [...]

Wanted: Meaningful reform of ethics code

No Comments 05 January 2010

At the very front of what I’m about to say, let me note that this is just an idea I’ve been thinking about that may or may not work. Based on my own thinking right now, I think it might, and it is certainly a different approach than what we’ve got right now, which is [...]

By Jeff Sexton This past week at the Lee County Board of Commissioners meeting, a policy was implemented without it being on the Agenda – at least the online version of it, as it exists at the moment I type this, nearly a week later. I’m working on getting the video right now – like I did [...]

I said then and I [...]

First aid as a graduation requirement?

No Comments 03 December 2009

Should certification in basic first aid be required of all high school graduates? State Senator Valencia Seay (D-Riverdale) thinks so, and under her SB 298 pre-file, it would happen as soon as 2014. Along with making it a graduation requirement in 2014, SB 298 would require all health classes in eighth grade [...]

No Comments 12 November 2009

Apparently so, and on the night of my defeat, a new war began. Not much happened at the Leesburg City Council meeting this week. It started out with a public hearing on a $500K grant the city got to repair some stormwater drainage from the Stonegate apartment area out to Robert B Lee drive. One property [...]

Leesburg needs openness, professionalism

No Comments 23 October 2009

On Nov. 3, the citizens of the City of Leesburg will have a choice between two competing visions. My vision takes the best of the old ways and implements them using fresh, new methods to achieve the best combination of both old and new.
