Should the mayor be able to teach also?
Students, today we will study the case of Hartwell Mayor Matt Beasley, who wants to teach social studies at Hart County High School, and a majority of the Hart County School Board won't let him. The scenario, students, is this: Mayor Beasley is a native, 40-year-old Hartwellian. A husband. A father. He has a four-year degree from the University of Georgia, a Masters of Education degree from Clemson University and a specialist degree in social science education from UGA. He has taught government and social studies for 13 years at Hart County High School. During that time, he was named Teacher of the Year by the faculty and the high school yearbook was twice dedicated to him by senior classes. In November 2001, Mr. Beasley was elected mayor of Hartwell. While serving as mayor, he continued to teach for a year and half.

Legislators pick apart proposed '07 budget
Local legislators began diving into Gov. Mike Easley's proposed 2007-09 budget this week as his staff presented the details to a joint meeting of the House and Senate appropriation committees Tuesday and the individual sub-committees Wednesday and Thursday. This year, the House is responsible for beginning the General Assembly's budget process, and now that representatives have the governor's proposals in hand, they're ready to get down to work. "We're starting today," Rep. Russell Tucker, D-Duplin, said Wednesday. "This is a long process," Larry Bell, D-Sampson, added. "What we're going to be doing right now, is sort of prioritizing (the governor's line items)." And so far, Wayne and Duplin's legislators said, even though they're still trying to wade through the proposal, there are several items that have caught their attention.
