New map with majority-minority 5th District will be used for upcoming elections
Tuesday afternoon, district voting became the law of the land in Fayette County by decree of a U.S. District Judge, replacing the county’s at-large voting format with a new process that will allow residents to vote for just one of the five members on both the Fayette County Commission and the Fayette County Board of Education.
Under at-large voting, struck down by the court, Fayette voters had the luxury of casting a ballot for all five members on each governing body.

A stormwater pond, it turns out, is not just for flood control. It has its own little ecosystem.
So when a contractor for Peachtree City drained the stormwater pond near the Honeysuckle Ridge subdivision so repairs could be made, the fish who called it home were being left to die.
Enter nature lover Todd Strickland, a longtime city resident, who leapt into action Feb. 9 to rescue the wildlife. He marshaled his daughter and neighbors, armed with nets to catch the fish and large plastic tubs to keep them in water until they were relocated.
