Following are some of the activities in my three committee assignments. • State Administration and Veterans’ Affairs SAVA has mostly seen “clean up” bills from the Secretary of State’s Office. On Wednesday, we looked at a bill which sought to improve t...
I’ve lived most of my life in a warm place, a place so warm, a place that can get so sweltering hot, that its nickname includes the word “hot.” Hotlanta. In Hotlanta, a snow dusting, however slight, sends everyone home from the office. A few flakes turn wide highways into crawling parking lots. Those white winter flecks on southern ground clear out the bread and milk aisles and reduce grocery stores and gas stations to looking like riot scenes. And for the million or so children in the metro area, the mere whisper, the rumor...
