Another strong voice in our state's economic forecasting arena says we can expect Georgia's recession to continue into 2010, with the state's fiscal picture improving in 2011.

If you want to talk about a high school sports dynasty, in our community you can start with Northgate High School's Viking cheerleaders. During the past weekend the team won its third consecutive state cheerleading championship during competition at the Columbus Civic Center.

While the floundering economy of the past 18 months has temporarily slowed population growth in our county, people continue to move into Coweta County. When the economy gets back on track, forecasts call for renewed growth, although not likely at the rate of the first eight years of this decade.

Sound Off comment a disgrace
Posted 11/20/2009
For some strange reason, I have always enjoyed reading the Sound Off column. The depth and breadth of the misinformation and, at times, the sheer ignorance exhibited by writers are absolutely astounding.
Democratic revolution in Georgia
Posted 11/19/2009
My fellow Georgians, you are in the midst of a revolution. But let me be clear: We ain't socialists. We're Democrats. If my conservative brothers in Coweta County are having a hard time raising your blades against the grass along Highway 34, then I think you'll find it more challenging to cut down the progressive movement in the country as a whole.
Government like pro wrestling
Posted 11/18/2009
How many of you are like me and have been more intently intrigued with the mechanics of how our government works lately? Are you more concerned about what new tax we'll have to pay or what personal right we might lose next? It's like God is trying to get our attention. He likes a crisis more than Obama. But God's motives are pure, and I believe he is calling us to pray for forgiveness and rely on his help in a time like America has never experienced in our short history as a nation.

We need less government
Posted 11/16/2009
I cannot understand -- considering television, computers, books and the many ways of gaining information -- how one can be intellectually and politically lazy. Especially now when common sense and a little knowledge of history could get us out of this mess we have allowed to develop in the U.S.

STOLEN PHOTOS: I hope the scum that broke into my daughter's home in North Coweta County is enjoying the pictures stolen on her dad's laptop. He died in July. Those were the last pictures she had with him. Enjoy them for now, because one day you will pay.
BE HELPFUL: Why can't the animal shelter be a bit more helpful? I am old and crippled. They want me to set up a trap and catch a mama dog with at least four puppies. What's wrong with this picture?
SUBSCRIPTION BONUS: If you need a plastic bag for your daily dog walk, subscribe to The Times-Herald.
INTERESTING: Thought this interesting after reading about wreck on Highway 34 bypass: "She was transported by ground ambulance to Piedmont Fayette Hospital." So how is this great single hospital in Coweta County working for us? People would rather travel to Fayette County.
KIA HIRES: Kia has hired 1,500 employees. Can The Times-Herald find out how many are Georgians and what percentage of Kia management jobs went to Georgians? Perdue gave Kia our tax money as a bonus to come here. Did Georgians get the good jobs?
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD: Why don't we fill the shoeboxes with gifts and give the boxes to our needy children right here in Coweta County?
