DeKalb County and the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) have eased the outdoor watering restrictions that were in effect as a result of the recent drought.
Under the new rules, odd-numbered street addresses can water on Tuesday, Thursdays, and Sundays. Even-numbered addresses can water on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.
To help with water efficiency, it is recommended that residents avoid any outdoor watering between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

The 2009 legislative session has begun and will run through March or April. Each year, I have ten (10) school-age children from House District 80 serve as pages for a day during the legislative session. Pages get to see the legislative process first-hand, receive an excused absence from school, have their photograph taken with their legislator and the Speaker of the House, and are provided lunch.
If your child would like to serve as a legislative page, please e-mail me at repjacobs@comcast.net and include in your e-mail message a telephone number where you can be reached. The ten spaces will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis and are only available to residents of House District 80. Please click here to view a map to determine whether you live in House District 80.

THANK YOU to everyone who helped secure a 67% victory in last month’s House District 80 election. I greatly appreciate every vote, every yard sign, every financial contribution, everyone who talked with me when I knocked on your door, and everyone who talked with their neighbors about our campaign. In the next two years, as in the past two years, you can expect the same open communication and efforts to enhance the quality of life in our community, improve government accountability, eliminate wasteful spending, and keep our taxes low.
Voting isn’t over, however. Tomorrow, Tuesday, December 2, is Georgia’s runoff election to decide the winner of those offices for which no candidate received at least 50% + 1 votes in the November election. At stake are one of Georgia’s two U.S. Senate seats, a seat on the Georgia Public Service Commission, a seat on the Georgia Court of Appeals, a DeKalb County Superior Court judgeship, and a handful of seats on the DeKalb County Board of Education.
Your regular polling location will be open tomorrow from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Please click here to download a copy of the sample ballot. This sample ballot is in PDF format and you will need Adobe Acrobat reader to view it. If you are not sure of your polling location, please click here to use the Secretary of State’s poll locator.
I hope to see you at the polls!
