In the District 6 Athens-Clarke Commission race, Ed Robinson got the nod today from the Athens Grow Green Coalition, a local environmental group.

“Ed has been involved in local environmental protection efforts for many years, serving on the Community Tree Council and promoting the protection of the ACC greenbelt,” Grow Green said. “Environmental issues are a prominent aspect of his platform, including a stronger tree protection ordinance, expanded controls on mass grading, strengthening the transit system, reducing emissions from the ACC government’s vehicle fleet and facilities, and improving water conservation rates.”

The story I wrote last week about who’d e-mailed A-CC commissioners about the budget drove some people up the wall.

Yes, the headline was a bit misleading. No, we weren’t trying to imply that the whole Athens population thinks higher taxes are awesome. The point, as I explained in the story’s lede and again to several readers, was to show that the people who’ve talked to commissioners favored higher taxes as long as they funded OneAthens recommendations.
