BRACK: Gwinnettian participating in NFL and football player negotiations
By Elliott Brack | You may know that there are discussions going on between the National Football League and its professional athletes about a new collective bargaining agreement. These are tough talks. The National Football League Players Association and the owners are now in negotiations before the current agreement is to expire, after the 2020 season.
Gwinnett Forum | June 3, 2025
“When a man’s wrapped up in himself, he makes a pretty small package.”
– English writer, lecturer, art historian and philanthropist John Ruskin (1819-1900) via John Titus, Peachtree Corners.
Continuing objectives
Gwinnett Forum publisher Elliott Brack suggests Gwinnett County needs a long-range list of continuing objectives for improving the county. His 2025 list:
- Move statewide non-partisan judicial and school board elections to the date of the General Election.
- More creative efforts to support the arts in Gwinnett.
- Advancement and expansion of city historical societies.
- Require establishments that serve alcoholic beverages to halt sales of such products at 1 a.m., and close by 2 a.m.
- Require the Georgia Legislature to meet only once every two years.
- Eliminate single-use plastic packaging and straws in Gwinnett and require instead the use of paper products.
- Gwinnett planners to encourage condos and townhouses instead of apartments.
- County-wide microtransit services.
