‼️WARNING DESCRIPTION OF SEXUAL IMAGE IN COURT DOCUMENT‼️

Former Washington, Georgia city council member Nathaniel Cullars Sr. will have the opportunity to defend himself against charges he is facing as a result of forwarding sexual images in an ethics complaint files against Washington City administrator Donald "Will" Long.

The images, the court documents state are in fact of Long, were originally sent to council as evidence in an ethics complaint where Amethyst Wesley aka Amethyst Johnson alleges she was sexually harassed by Long while contracted to do work for the city. Cullars Sr. is alleged to have sent them to Marion Tutt, former city council member and Willie Burns, former mayor of Washington.

The charges are significant. The charges Cullars is facing leave no doubt the image Wesley submitted with her complaint, are of Long.

Long had claimed the images were not of him and suggested they were AI generated. The charging documents say otherwise.

Long wrote checks out to Wesley, taxpayer money totaling $50,000 for a new city website the city does not have. Wesley has filed a lawsuit against the city for sexual harassment by Long.

For the citizens of Washington Georgia, what the court is confirming in its charges against Cullars Sr. is that the sexually explicit images are certainly of the city administrator Donald "Will" Long.

Even if you believe the sending was consensual or Long had some relationship with Wesley, is this behavior fitting the person managing the city of Washington, Georgia and receiving $185,000 salary?

The city council voted against taking any action against Long.

Here is an electric bill from Rayle EMC. Notice there is no base charge like the city of Washington charges. Also notice there is nearly a month's time from the billing date until the bill is due. Washington, Georgia, depending on when the bill is sent and arrives, sometimes allows for only a week until the bill is past due and considered late and a late fee charged.

Massive Energy Demand: A single large data center can use as much electricity as 100,000 households or an entire medium-sized city, largely to power and cool thousands of dense computer servers.

The increased demand means cities either have to massively expand their infrastructure to provide utilities and that cost is rarely paid for by the data center. Instead, the cost gets passed on to the regular customers.

We already know the city of Washington has a major water infrastructure problem and has had one for a long time that hasn't been addressed. Has anyone seen city council or the city administration present a plan and the steps to completion, to fix the water infrastructure?

The expansion of the system takes time is until that happens, more wholesale electricity is bought from other cities but at a higher rate.

The city of Washington doesn't make its own electricity. They buy it on an exchange of sorts from other cities who have an excess and want to sell it. The price fluctuates.
