McCollar touts major reduction in poverty; Harris asserts need to address drug problem

Mayor Jonathan McCollar credited himself and the city with a nearly 30% reduction in Statesboro's poverty rate and other positive trends in the past eight years. Challenger candidate Raymond Harris asserted that Statesboro needs to do more about its drug problem and that he wants to "streamline" city spending without cutting key programs.
