Why go to a movie when you can watch Snellville politics?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Sometimes we feel like getting a bowl of popcorn when we read the latest Internet screeds from the Snellville mayoral race.
Last week, Joe Anderson, the political activist — or gadfly, depending on your point of view, complained of harassment from the Bruce Garraway campaign.
Anderson, you may recall, is a supporter of Mayor Jerry Oberholtzer, the incumbent Garraway wants to toss out of office. Last week, Anderson’s cellphone was flooded with calls from residents who’d been transferred to his line by an automatic voice message dialing service.
The callers told Anderson they’d just received a recorded telephone message from Garraway telling them about Anderson’s “inappropriate relationship” with the mayor.
In an Oct. 17 letter to the Snellville City Council, Garraway called on the Council to investigate that “inappropriate” relationship.
We’re not quite sure what that meant. But Garraway thought it was inappropriate for gadflies and elected officials to plot political strategy and then go out and say mean things about their opponents.
