BRACK: Find the fun by moving outside your own boundaries
By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | All too often we find it difficult for most of us to bust through our own boundaries.
Most of us don’t reach out to others, or try to look at a different viewpoint. We also see this in the political boundaries that hem us in. There are so many boundaries which limit us.
For instance, though Greenville, S.C. is said to be a snazzy place to visit, there’s that state boundary line that separates that city from Georgians. We’ve been meaning to visit that area for some time, but never seem to get there.
Gwinnett Forum | Dec. 20, 2024
“….if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.”
— Canadian Author Robertson Davies (1913-1995).
Continuing objectives
Gwinnett Forum publisher Elliott Brack suggests that Gwinnett County needs a long-range list of continuing objectives for improving the county. His list:
- Move statewide non-partisan judge and school board elections to the General Election.
- Adoption of the 2023 Transit Plan for Gwinnett.
- 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.
- 21st century salary for the Gwinnett County Commission members.
- Remove chewing gum on sidewalks at entrances of post offices and other governmental buildings.
- Eliminate single-use plastic packaging and straws in Gwinnett and require instead the use of paper products.
- Condos instead of apartments for Gwinnett.
