Early voting starts for Senate runoff, other contests

A U.S. Senate runoff apparently was enough to bring early voters to the polls on Monday, the first day most metro Atlanta counties opened offices for early voting. Elections officials across the region reported steady voting and, in some places, lines.

The Gwinnett County elections office said 1,440 people cast ballots Monday. Elections Director Lynn Ledford credited the turnout to interest in the race between Sen. Saxby Chambliss, a Republican from Moultrie, and Democratic challenger Jim Martin of Atlanta.

She also thinks people may have a renewed interest in voting following the general election earlier this month.

Unlike foe, he's no patsy for utilities

Georgia corporations boast many friends in state government -- friends who have ensured the state's consumer protection laws are among the weakest in the country and who have put the profits of business over the wallets of everyday Georgians.

Business and industry don't need any more friends in high places. It's Georgia consumers who need a pal or two.

I can't thank you enough for your support. Georgians turned out in record numbers on Election Day, and a majority of them voted to reject Saxby Chambliss and the failures of Washington to stand up for the middle class. We couldn't have done it without you.

Now we're headed to a runoff, and we need you to redouble your efforts if we're going to win on December 2nd, because this race is going to be about helping President-elect Barack Obama get our economy back on track and making the economy work for the middle class again.

Jim Powell works as an independent energy consultant to states, local governments and industry. He retired in February 2007 after a 35 year career with the United States government. Prior to retiring, Jim served as a Senior Executive with the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) managing a number of initiatives and a budget of over $300 million.

Jim will be a voice for the people in the Public Service Commission, something it has been lacking for many years. He is committed to making Georgia a better place to live and work and would use his experience to work toward a cleaner better future for all Georgians.
