Milledgeville couple
convicted of fraud
MACON (AP) - A
Milledgeville couple was
found guilty of Social
Security fraud, wire fraud
and theft of government
property in U.S. District
Court.
Sentencing for Garvis
Maxie Youngblood and
Lois Woodall Youngblood is
scheduled for January, 2007,
by U.S. District Court Judge
Ashley Royal in Macon.
An anonymous tip to the
Veterans Administration
prompted the government to
investigate the Youngbloods.
The informant claimed that
Garvis Youngblood was
fraudulently receiving dis
ability payments from Social
Security and the Veterans
Administration, based on
false claims that he suffered
for Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder due to his service
in the U.S. Marine Corps
during the Vietnam War,

prepared statement.
The federal agencies
established that Garvis
Youngblood served in
Vietnam as a truck driver
for less than six months and
that his entire service was
in Danang, a rear area. They
found he was never wounded
and his claim that comrades
died in his arms was false.
The Youngbloods received
nearly $300,000, the govern
ment said.
They could receive sen
tences of not more than 20
years, a fine of not more than
$250,000 and be ordered to
pay restitution to the U.S.

interested in a merger.
The offer to buy Delta
once the Atlanta-based air
line emerges from bankrupt
cy protection by the middle
of 2007 would give Delta’s
unsecured creditors $4 bil
lion in cash and 78.5 million
shares of US Airways stock.
As it stands now, Delta’s
common shares are likely
to end up worthless when
it exits bankruptcy. In most
bankruptcy cases, the debt
holders usually end up with
new shares of the company.
Doug Parker, chief execu
tive of Tempe, Ariz.-based
US Airways, said in a tele
phone interview that he
is aware of the comments
made by Delta’s manage
ment in recent months, but
he believes this is a fair offer
and that ultimately Delta’s
creditors will see that.
Delta spokeswoman
Thonnia Lee seemed sur
prised by the announcement
Wednesday morning and
said she could not yet com
ment on it in detail.

Runoff features PSC race;
dismal turnout expected
By GREG BLUE STEIN
Associated Press Writer
ATLANTA - Georgia vot
ers aren’t done just yet.
Voters will be able to cast
their ballots once again
on Dec. 5, though few are
expected to do so.
Only one statewide race
has reached a runoff, and
that’s a low-profile Public
Service Commission contest
between Republican chal
lenger Chuck Eaton and
incumbent David Burgess,
the lone Democrat on the
five-person board.
“We’re anticipating very
low voter participation,” said
Chris Riggall, spokesman
for the Secretary of State’s
office, which oversees elec
tions. “That’s the norm in
general election runoffs,
especially those that don’t
include a top-of-the-ticket
race.”
Burgess failed to reach the
50 percent of the vote mark
he needed to avoid a runoff,
logging about 49 percent.
Eaton got about 46 percent
of the vote while Libertarian
Paul MacGregor took rough
ly 5 percent.
While the PSC contest
may not inspire a hefty turn
out, the issues the board will
debate over the next few
years will be felt throughout
the state.
The regulators will likely

consider natural gas and elec-;
trie price hikes, new nuclear;
construction and renewable;
energy options. And other;
issues in the commission’s;
jurisdiction - from telephone;
company practices to guide
lines that electric and natu-;
ral gas monopolies must fol
low - will likely arise.
And the winner of the con
test will have a high stakes
role in those decisions, as
the victor is set to become
the commission’s next chair
man.
Throughout the campaign,
Burgess has stressed his
regulatory experience. He
spent 17 years as a commis
sion staffer before becom
ing a commissioner in 1999,
“There’s no substitute for
experience,” he said.
Eaton has questioned the
steady rise in natural gas
prices under his opponent’s
watch and has benefited
from a GOP tide across the,
state.
Both must now decide
how to get voters interest
ed enough in the PSC race
to return to the polls on a
December Tuesday.
