Your Turn: Elect law director candidate who learned municipal law
Nov. 1, 2007As Athens County Law Director Garry Hunter pointed out in the recent debate, he represents Athens City and the Athens City School District, reviews and prepares all city contracts and ordinances, advises 11 city departments and supervises the city prosecutors. In addition, the job has become very specialized, requiring him to give daily advice on transparency in government issues, land use issues, environmental issues, federal grant matters, discrimination matters, telecommunication matters, public safety issues, retirement issues, health insurance issues, worker compensation issues, lay-off issues, ethics issues, tax abatement issues, annexation matters and economic development. Municipal law is not something you receive training for as an assistant county prosecutor, despite what Pat Lang might think. I support the candidate with a proven track record and knowledge of municipal law. I support the re-election of Garry Hunter as Athens City's law director.

Your Turn: Assertions that Paul Wiehl is anti-student simply 'not true'
Nov. 1, 2007I am writing this short letter to clear up a few points that were made in a recent letter to the editor, in The Post, where Paul Wiehl was labeled as an anti-student candidate for mayor. This simply is not true! Paul lives in a mixed student/long-term residential neighborhood, unlike Ed Baum, who has few students as neighbors. Paul works with students every day in his current job at the university. Paul has many students who are supporting him for mayor and many more who are helping with his campaign.
