Civil disobedience is not supposed to be safe. If this is a day at the park for you where you’re worried about getting sunburned, you’re missing the point.

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

The Hamby budget passed 7-3, which was always going to be the outcome. Taylor, Wright, Fisher, Johnson, Culpepper and Thornton in favor; Davenport, Link and Myers opposed. And the rump progressive faction on the commission continues to get run over by the Hamby/Thornton coalition.

I gotta say, this Hamby budget seems pretty gimmicky to me. Where is the city going to find $7 million next year when SPLOST/TSPLOST interest is gone? All it really does is put off a property tax hike and/or some pretty drastic cuts until after the mayor and commission races next May.
