BRACK: Cutting your pay-TV bill possible, but not by much
By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Do you think your cable or pay television cost too much, especially compared to the channels you actually watch? What good are 500 channels if you only watch a half dozen?
1We thought that way, and sought to do something about it. So we embarked on learning more about over-the-air TV, buying two different types of inside-the-house antennas and started experimenting. Be careful: this venture took most of a Saturday.
Gwinnett Forum | Nov. 19, 2024
“If it weren’t for Philo T. Farnsworth, inventor of television, we’d still be eating frozen radio dinners.”
– Nighttime TV Host Johnny Carson(1925 – 2005).

- 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.
