Rich: Easter 2025

Letter to the Editor: Past chairman promotes past practice

Dear Editor,I just noticed that the Putnam County Board of Commissioners has scheduled a called meeting for April 25. That date just happens to coincide with their association’s spring conference in Savannah, meaning it appears they will conduct a board meeting in Savannah.

Williams: Week 11 under the Gold Dome

We’re almost down to the final week of the 2025 Legislative Session, and what’s happening at the Capitol right now affects your family, your paycheck, and your way of life. That’s why I’m working hard to ensure our values and needs are front and center as we finish strong.
