At the end of every legislative session, Creative Loafing hands out the “Golden Sleaze Awards.” The faux honors are given to state lawmakers who proposed the worst ideas during the 40-day session. Some pols, such as state Rep. Earl Ehrhart, R-Powder Springs, consider the awards a badge of honor. We gave him a shout-out for trying to expand a scholarship program that allows state money to find its way to private schools. You might have read about it in the New York Times.

"Do people still walk in off the street with their stories and problems? I loved that about ag-town papers.‬ A guy would bring in a pumpkin that looked like Mickey Mouse, somebody would drop off 50 pages of typewritten pages about the Vatican poisoning the fluoride or whatever, an old lady would bring in the obit for her husband and spend two hours telling funny stories about World War II, etc. And the angry people would come in, and we’d always send them straight to the publisher’s office: “Oh yes, he looks FORWARD to talking to you about why the paper backed your lifelong enemy for the town manager vacancy."

— Ken Layne talks with a journalist who went from newspapers to Patch and back to newspapers.

"Fewer than 4,000 adults in the southern state receive welfare, even as poverty is soaring. How Georgia declared war on its poorest citizens—leaving them to fight for themselves."

Destruction of the 7th Street apartment building designed by Neel Reid is underway in Midtown. Sad day for fans of old, elegant structures that don’t always provided the desired returns.

Well, that was fast.

“This is the fourth time we’ve built a stadium in a poor black neighborhood… That’s wrong. And that tells people in those neighborhoods you don’t count, just get out of my way. That’s real ugly. That’s a real punch in the nose.”
