From WABE…

While the state schools superintendent race on the Republican side remains too close to call, Democrats have their candidate.

Former Decatur school board chief Valarie Wilson scored a decisive win Tuesday night over state Rep. Alisha Thomas Morgan by a vote of 54 percent to 46 percent.

    More importantly, Jeff Mann won in a landslide. Dekalb got that one right.

    +1 on Jeff Mann. Not every day is it easy to be proud to be a DeKalb Co. resident, but today I am.

    I like the Decaturish headline: Mann up !

    btw – what is the correct possessive form if Decaturish? Decaturish’s ?

    You people have no sense of humor. Vernon as sheriff would have made the Daily Show and Colbert Report. We may not have this chance of being a national laughingstock for years to come. Ugh.

      Why don’t you try calling in a tip about the tree ordinance?

        First off, I can’t believe that you would think I would do something as lowdown as that.

        Second, thanks for the idea!
