Mayor Floyd One of 100 Most Influential Georgians
Decatur Metro | January 8, 2009 | 9:25 am…according to Georgia Trend magazine. Here’s the blurb.
Floyd, who operates his own blogsite (www.billfloyddecatur.com), has been a leader on Decatur’s political scene since being elected to the city commission in 1991. Since 1998 he’s served as mayor of one of Georgia’s most progressive small cities. Most recently, Decatur has been considering annexation (increasing from 4 to 5 square miles) and developing a local, organic, urban farming program.
Not really a much of a bio, but when you have to write up 100 blurbs I guess you have to limit your facts to things easily found online.

You’re right, it isn’t much of a bio. As you noted, difficult to get much more when you’re writing 100 of these, and they’re limited to 50-60 words each. But the info was easily found through the mayor himself, not online, as you incorrectly assumed. Be glad to answer any questions about the process if you’re interested. You’ve got my email.
Thanks for the clarification Jerry. I think the reason I assumed the research was done online was because everything mentioned was the most prominent stuff about him/the town online.
