The Milledgeville City Council is set to vote next week on whether or not to place a moratorium (press pause) on new convenience stores and vice marts in the city.

For anyone who thinks that all of these "lottery stores" and "to***co stores" and "food stores" make Milledgeville look more sketchy, this is probably welcome news.

Then, there's also the fact that so many of these vice marts set up shop near low-income neighborhoods and parts of town. For example, why are there two vice marts where people can play the machines right beside the Boddie projects? Why are so many of the vice marts concentrated on the southside of town? Why aren't there vice marts on Log Cabin Road or around Lake Sinclair?

Vice marts basically exploit the people who need the money the most but can least affort to lose it, and local advocacy groups (NAACP, etc.) have never seemed to have a strong opinion about this problem one way or the other. How does this fit into the concept of "economic justice?"

It will be interesting to see how the vote count turns out. We'll let you know how each City Council member voted after the meeting next week.

HALFTIME: Baldwin playing with heart but trail West Laurens 17-6 here at Braves Stadium. At different points in the first half, it’s felt like more of a home game for West Laurens, despite the fact that the game is here in Milledgeville.

With only a handful of provisional ballots outstanding, Trump wins Baldwin County by more than 400 votes. Keep in mind, Baldwin County has voted for the presidential winner in 9-out-of-the-last-10 elections. In 2020, Biden beat Trump by 213 votes.

BELLWETHER BALDWIN: Talk about a bellwether county! The winner in Baldwin County has also been the winner of the electoral college vote in 9-out-of-the-last-10 elections, dating back 40 years.

Just wanted to put that out there, while also disabling comments below, due to the fact that comments inevitably would bring out the lowest common denominator of Milledgeville voter and devolve into a middle school-level name-calling contest.

Best of luck and thanks for all you do to all of the poll workers and everyone around the Board of Registrars office and Elections Superintendent office today.
