Another View
ANOTHER VIEW: On a lark, she won tickets to hear her favorite band
By Alana Moss | Have you ever watched a musician performing on a television show, and thought, “I wonder how someone gets lucky enough to be there?” Me, too. So, when I found out my favorite band, Green Day, was going to perform on Good Morning America’s Summer Concert series on Friday, July 26, I decided to enter a lottery for tickets.
ANOTHER VIEW: Examining fascism from another angle
By Jeff Gorke | Late last week I began to respond to Ashley Herndon’s tome in the July 9 GwinnettForum, “Explaining how fascism helps confuse today’s argument.” (As any reasonable person might do, I preamble by stipulating Trump is a bit of a hyperbolic loose cannon, lest the discussion get clouded.)
Gwinnett Forum | April 25, 2025
“It is even harder for the average ape to believe that he has descended from man.”
– Curmudgeon American Journalist H.L. Mencken (1880-1956).
Continuing objectives
Gwinnett Forum publisher Elliott Brack suggests Gwinnett County needs a long-range list of continuing objectives for improving the county. His 2025 list:
- Move statewide non-partisan judicial and school board elections to the date of the General Election.
- More creative efforts to support the arts in Gwinnett.
- Advancement and expansion of city historical societies.
- Require establishments that serve alcoholic beverages to halt sales of such products at 1 a.m., and close by 2 a.m.
- Require the Georgia Legislature to meet only once every two years.
- Eliminate single-use plastic packaging and straws in Gwinnett and require instead the use of paper products.
- Gwinnett planners to encourage condos and townhouses instead of apartments.
- County-wide microtransit services.
