We were headed to the transit station and were actually going toward the finish line. I stopped and asked how to get there and were told we were headed the wrong way. So we turned around - thank God. About five minutes later - boom." Beaudreau said it …

After eight years as the District 3 Gwinnett County Commissioner, incumbent Mike Beaudreau has made a number of decisions which challengers Jerry Oberholtzer, Tommy Hunter and Mike Korom were eager to question during a June 14 candidate forum at Stars and Strikes in Dacula. Each candidate was given the opportunity to ask two questions of another candidate. Five of the six questions asked by Hunter, Korom and Oberholtzer were directed at Beaudreau -- most calling the incumbent’s bona fides as a fiscal conservative into question. Hunter asked how Beaudreau could support the county trash plan based on conservative principles. “How do you rectify in your mind taking away the right of the residents to choose …

On federal judge’s ruling, allowing Lake Lanier to be used for water consumption: “That was very, very good news.
