District Eight debate (sort of)
I just received the following press release ...

OPEN COMMUNITY FORUM WITH DISTRICT 8 CANDIDATE HEROD IS SET
ATHENS, GA—The University Heights Community Association is sponsoring a forum with Andy Herod, candidate for the Athens-Clarke County Commission District 8 seat. The forum will be held Tuesday, March 13, at 7:00 p.m., at Cedar Shoals High School auditorium and is free and open to the public.
Herod will share some of his ideas and goals for District 8 and will answer questions from the audience. The other District 8 candidate, David Hamilton, declined the invitation to participate in a forum or debate featuring both candidates.
The special election is Tuesday, March 20th, with early voting beginning March 12th. The winning candidate will replace States McCarter, who resigned on February 7th.
Interesting that Hamilton declined to participate, particularly in a short election cycle.

I think Norm Weatherby and David Hamilton are one in the same. It's the only logical answer. He's being extadicted to Ohio. Why else would he not participate?
(just a joke before everybody gets their panties in a wad)
I can understand that Hamilton feels that the result of not showing up for the only debate will hurt him less that actually debating Herod, but I still think this is an afront to democracy.
