While disagreement is part of democracy, it’s time to cut through the noise and get back to the facts. Budget Development Was Inclusive — Even If Some Chose Not…Read Article

Baker’s Dozen – The Short Straw

Where the tradition started is anyone’s guess, but it’s there and we deal with it, much like we deal with City Boy except we don’t stuff tradition upside down in the nearest trash can when it gets too obnoxious.

Once at fish camp, the members gather …Ashburn, Georgia · Ashburn Read Article

Georgia Senate to look into solar fields

by Dave Williams Capitol Beat News Service ATLANTA – Georgia is the largest state east of the Mississippi River, with eight million acres of prime farmland. Yet, there’s so much concern over the spread of solar farms eating up huge portions of that acreage with vast fields of solar panels that the state Senate has formed a study committee to explore what can be done to save the most fertile land for farmers. Turner County has several solar proje…Ashburn, Georgia · Ashburn Read Article

No budget yet for County

Turner County does not have a budget in place. Instead, the Commissioners passed a spending resolution to carry the County through until they can approve a budget. The spending resolution means each County-funded department has to stick to the spending limits within the 2024-25 budget. County Attorney Jamara Shipp said the Board “hopes they (departments) follow that resolution.” He had a continuing spending resolution prepared before the meeting…Ashburn, Georgia · Ashburn Read Article

Baker’s Dozen – Not a morning person

I don’t do mornings. Morning people annoy me. A lot. If you can be bright and cheery before the sun rises, I think you have severe psychological problems.
