9th District GOP hopefuls trade barbs in debate
In a Republican runoff, there are always several similarities. The race to be the party's nominee in Georgia's 9th U.S. House district is no different. Both Doug Collins and Martha Zoller have similar views on the farm bill: They won't support it in its current form. Both candidates list cutting federal spending as their No. 1 priority if elected. Both say they'll deal with what they say is overregulation if elected. And both want to ...

Taxpayers may be on the hook for developers’ credit
The fact that the housing market crashed is news that's a few years old by now. But as developers run out of money, years after promising Hall County officials they would finish building roads, sidewalks or retention ponds, there are emerging implications for taxpayers. Developers must build roads in their subdivisions before county officials will agree to plat them as such, then allow the developer to sell individual lots. Usually at that point in the ...

The Local Agenda: County to unveil proposal on split of sales tax funds
On Monday, Aug. 13 at 10:30, Hall County officials are expected to turn over their proposal for how sales tax money will be shared throughout the county. After a big vote on a specially purposed sales tax for transportation, I feel the need to clarify that this sales tax has no special purpose. In most cases, it props up local governments' day-to-day expenses. The money is charged and collected by shopkeepers and restaurant owners in ...

Bell’s political star fades after primary loss
Four years ago, Ashley Bell was considered a rising star in the political world. Having beaten an incumbent to become Hall County's youngest elected official, the then-27-year-old was full of promise. Fast-forward to Tuesday, when Bell lost a bid for re-election to the Board of Commissioners by more than 15 percentage points. The star, once rising, was suddenly suspended in mid-air. Bell, admittedly, is done with local politics. But as a man who demonstrated so ...
Firefighter works to support, prevent other burn victims
Five years ago today, Angie Roach was 31 and thinking about death. The Hall County firefighter had just fallen through a floor in a burning house. What should have been just a routine knockdown on a house fire - in the business, they call them "bread and butter fires" - quickly became a catastrophic event. Some 45 percent of her body was severely burned. It was the worst on-the-job injury any Hall County firefighter had ...
