It is encouraging to see conservatives criticizing Georgia Republican officials for their lack of impartiality in the recent primary. For casual voters, it wasn’t obvious, but for anyone paying attention, it was clear some party officers were biased. Among those who have spoken out on the issue is Erick Erickson, who called for the resignation
This week’s Courier Herald column: Like many components of household budgets, rents have been increasing. They’re now increasing at increasing rates. Data provided by real estate consulting firm CoreLogic this week revealed that year over year rents for single family homes are showing double digit increases, with demand especially strong across the sun belt. Nationally,
Georgia was founded in January 2, 1788. For the first time in 232 years, there are seven African American women as the lead prosecutors in some of the State’s largest counties. Last night’s runoff election solidified that Dekalb, Cobb, Clayton, Douglas, Rockdale, Macon, and Fulton will all have black women as their District Attorney’s. I
This week’s Courier Herald column: A year ago about this time I wrote a column called “America The Beautiful”, in which I described an 8,000-mile road trip. The overriding point of that piece was that the real beauty of our country is in its people. This is best experienced and appreciated in person, and I
Congressman Doug Collins made a not-all-together incorrect statement that an Independent District Attorney should be appointed in the killing of Rayshard Brooks. After being forced into a runoff, Atlanta DA Paul Howard chose to make political hay from Brooks’ death. The connection Collins draws with Brooks and Ahmaud Arbery seems a bit specious, however. In
A few thoughts that stand out from yesterday’s election: How swift and broad Gwinnett’s seachange is continues to astound me. By now I’m sure everyone’s seen that there were some 30,000 more votes cast in the Democratic Presidential Primary than Republican. And Georgia’s longest-serving school board member is likely going to lose her reelection bid.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’m willing to grant tremendous latitude to any executive handling their respective Covid-19 response. However, it seems increasingly clear that Governor Kemp is lurching from one decision to the next without a clear strategy. Or if he has one, it’s not a good strategy. Let’s start
Adjust your expectations for Passover and Easter Sunday services. Gwinnett County and all of its cities have jointly issued a stay at home order through 11:59pm on April 13th. All businesses will be asked to close, with the exception of essential services. Curt Yeomans of the Gwinnett Daily Post reports: “We are all navigating uncharted
There is increasing chatter about Mary Norwood becoming the next president of the Buckhead Coalition. Along with that job comes the unofficial mayorship of Buckhead. Norwood is clearly getting feedback about her replacing founding president Sam Massell. Luckily for her, there’s few people who would be more qualified than Norwood. Her decades of civic service
This week’s Courier Herald column: About a month ago I noticed an article being shared by quite a few of my social media contacts. It was published by Popular Mechanics, and was titled “This $1 billion Solar Plant Is An Obsolete, Expensive Flop.” The Crescent Dunes plant on 1,500 acres near Las Vegas was approved
