ANOTHER VIEW: County feels Mulberry creation is unconstitutional
Senate Bill 138 (SB 138), legislation dictating the transition of services between Gwinnett County and the newly created city of Mulberry, (has) become law.

ANOTHER VIEW: Trump dynasty is showing signs of rocky road
By Jack Bernard | President Trump was elected with less than 50 percent of the popular vote.

And that he is entitled to rule forever more, regardless of the Constitution.
