Below is a Letter to the Editor recently submitted by Milledgeville man Floyd L. Griffin.
To the Editor:
As a former Georgia State Senator and Mayor of the City of Milledgeville, I am fully aware of the moral fortitude and strength of mind required of policy makers; men and women who summon the courage of their convictions to stand up for the greater good.
As the Georgia State House Representative – District 133 election nears (November 8th); I want to remind your esteemed readers that respect should be earned not leveraged. True power lies in your hands.
We must never abuse the benefits and advantages that come with privilege to gain access that gives us the upper hand. Republican candidate Ken Vance’s recent arrest for DUI is an example of that slippery slope. Rewarding bad behavior with a slap on the wrist sets a bad precedence particularly when the recipient is a politician in law enforcement like Vance.
You do the math. There were over 19,000 DUI convictions in Georgia (in 2019) down 88% from 2018 as fewer people are being held accountable. Drivers who cause a death while intoxicated can be charged with first-degree vehicular homicide, a Category B felony, that can carry up to fifteen years.
Restoring the public trust isn’t an easy undertaking, there’s no quick fix. It’s not about choosing between the lesser of two evils – that’s still evil – it’s about electing the one who will make positive change. Democratic candidate Attorney Hoganne A. Harrison-Walton will answer that call.

Everything sounded so lovely until the end.Â
“We tried”
If that’s not disheartening idk what is. I feel the need to quote my mom here. “I can’t have nothin nice”. Wiser words were never said.Â
Oh! And for gods sake STAY HYDRATED if you want to save on hospital bills. I hate summer.Â
Member when the river was fun and didn’t get angry and take lives? You could float down hopefully by sunset with only burnt skin that was a problem for later you? Member when your biggest fear were all the scary gar lingering about?
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 89 and low of 72 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Mist for the morning, light rain shower in the afternoon, patchy rain nearby in the evening, cloudy overnight.
loving that suit! That hippie has style and wears it well.Â
I member hearing about this. So incredibly sad. The lady I spoke with couldn’t have spoken higher of the man he was.Â
"unless someone wishes to make some sort of far-flung statement about their dissatisfaction with both major political parties" omg! YES PLEASE! There's no choices, and they will never allow an independent a fighting chance. Other countries have multiple candidates to choose from.
Any reason why the sheriff rarely makes a statements its alway another Deputy isn’t the sheriff, the elected official in our county?
