Elliott Brack’s Perspective
BRACK: Background on the naming of Jimmy Carter Boulevard
By Elliott Brack | The idea of honoring President Carter with a road named for him in Gwinnett came from former county commissioner Ray Gunnin of Norcross. In November 1976, signs went up re-naming Norcross Tucker Road (Georgia Highway 140) as Jimmy Carter Boulevard, two months before Carter became president.
BRACK: 14th Amendment could come into play with debt crisis
By Elliott Brack | Much of the talk in Washington these days is about whether the Democrats and Republicans can come together with an agreement to raise the national debt limit. If that doesn’t happen, it could mean that our nation will default on its debt. That’s never happened in the 227 years of our country.
BRACK: Construction going slowly on Western Gwinnett Bikeway
By Elliott Brack | Have you noticed the construction along the west side of a four-mile stretch of Peachtree Industrial Boulevard in Duluth and Suwanee? Gwinnett County is building part of a multi-use path, the Western Gwinnett Bikeway, on the western edge of the road, and using distinctive prefab concrete construction barrier walls in the process. It is a long-awaited bikeway, having been in the talking stage for years, and lately, has been plagued by construction delays.
BRACK: Georgia native should resign from the Supreme Court
By Elliott Brack | Improper is what it is. He is guilty of impropriety. We’re talking about, of all occupations, a U.S. Supreme Court justice.
For any judge to do something unethical and improper is almost unthinkable. And on top of that, he’s originally from our own state of Georgia. How embarrassing, apparently for us, but apparently not for him. That makes it even worse. Yes, we’re thinking of Clarence Thomas.
