Errata: the missing links

In today’s morning email, I inadvertantly neglected a link and proper attribution.

The following paragraphs should have appeared thusly:

Announced candidates for the Gwinnett County Commission term beginning in January to succeed former Commissioner Shirley Fanning-Lasseter will also run in the special election to fill Fanning-Lasseter’s term ending December 31st. Laurie McClain and Jace Brooks will meet in the July 31st Republican Primary, and may meet in the November Special Election held the same day at the General Election, in which the Primary winner will be unopposed. Confused?

“Assuming the details of the qualifying date and the fees makes sense, it is my intention to qualify for the special election,” McClain said last week. “This county is so thirsty for leaders with integrity, I think it is imperative that someone like myself fills that seat as soon as possible.”

In Thursday’s Political Notebook, former Suwanee Councilman Jace Brooks said he would also be up for the special election. But since Brooks and McClain will square off in the GOP primary on July 31, Brooks added that if the special election qualifying is after the primary and he doesn’t win it, he will bow out of the special election.

That link is to a story in the Gwinnett Daily Post.

In the July 7th edition of the morning news, I inadvertantly left off the link/citation to the story about Attorney General Sam Olens filing suit over alleged violations of the Open Meetings act by the Mayor of Cumming.  I read of the lawsuit at ForsythNews.com. I noted this error on July 8th, but restate it here.
