BRACK: A cheer for Senator Dixon for proposing higher chair’s salary

By Elliott Brack  |  Let’s hear a brisk “Hurrah” to Republican Senator Clint Dixon of Buford. Recently he announced that he would seek legislation to increase the salary of the Gwinnett County Commission chairman.   The position of chair of the County Commission is the lowest in the five-county metro Atlanta area, being paid $86,920 annually.

FOCUS: Applauds Dixon for seeking non-partisan school board

By Cathy Loew |  Let me applaud Senator Clint Dixon’s attempt to rein in the highly politicized school board. This was Everton Blair’s plan as Benjamin Herald explained in Education Week, October 26, 2020, “How the Fight for America’s Suburbs Started in Public Schools.”
