By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | You tell me: why do we have so much talk about gun control, shootings and deaths in the United States, when automobile accident deaths are just as prevalent, actually slight more, than gun deaths?
By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Guns were the cause of two recent tragedies in the South, in Chattanooga this week, and recently in Charleston, S.C. You wonder where it will happen next. For it will.
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.
