"We are the front lines of truth advocacy. Major media outlets have traded truth for sensationalism, and online news sites have no real legal concerns to keep them in check. Digital text is not ink. The community newspapers are left as the only legally challenged body of information. We cannot afford to lie. We cannot afford to be inaccurate. We are the last stand for freedom of the press. We are the last of the true journalists."

Kornegay may contest vote

By Daniel L. Bamberg
While the vote certification presently reads Billiey Dailey as the Republican party nominee for Bibb County Board of Education in District 4, these results may not stand.  Her opponent, Maria Kornegay has a valid reason to contest the election, according to local election experts.  
According to many sources poll workers in district these two candidates are running to represent, were not giving out the full ballot until they were made aware of their mistake.  The mistake was discovered well over an hour into the voting process.  Korgegay received 243 votes as compared to Dailey's 276.  With only 33 votes separating the two, Kornegay not only has an argument but a potential to see results shift in her favor. Now that the votes have been certified Kornegay has a short amount of time to file a contest.
