Adam Hammond and Sheri Ward Long, candidates for Post 4 on the Oconee County Board of Education, agreed on many issues in separate, 45-minute long interviews.
Hammond, the Republican Party nominee, and Long, running as a Democrat, said there is a need for more transparency in the way the Board interacts with the public.
Oconee County Superior Court Judge Lisa Lott on Monday dismissed a lawsuit seeking to force the Oconee County Board of Elections and Registration to stop registering voters and seeking to force the Board to hold a hearing on a challenge to the registration of 228 persons on the voting rolls.
Lott issued her ruling dismissing the lawsuit filed by Suzannah Heimel after a 50-minute hearing that focused on requests for dismissal by Oconee County resident Susan Noakes and Common Cause Georgia and by Oconee County itself.
