i posted this in GD, too, but thought you guys would like to see it.



Showing her Georgia Power bills in the one warm room of her home, Raymeica Kelly explains how her mother, sister and herself were turned away from the Energy Assistance Program on Wednesday morning after standing in line for four hours. All three complained that the system the Macon-Bibb County Economic Opportunity Council uses to give out the assistance needs improving.

the comments are pretty good, why is this a story anyways? have the police cleaned up the streets in Macon enough, that 8 drive by shootings a day isn't news worthy any longer

Does anyone know who she is, I would happily pay Decembers power bill (not past due balance) in trade for the TV and surround sound system.

Shit I'd offer a trade...I'd pay the bill for one month if I can get the TV in trade.  
I would need to see the power bill first.  

Isn't there a motivational poster about priorities out there???
