Friends,
storm
chasing
and more
Billy Kimbrel found
out one of the two
things worst than
turning 50 this week. First,
being the good friend of the
newspaper publisher. The
other thing is being the pub
lisher’s enemy. I am a very
lucky man! I have many of
both. I have some very good
friends and I have some who
have rubbed me the wrong
way along my travels.
I am very glad to have
my friends, Billy being
one. Sorry to the ones that
aren’t!

I really enjoyed the
Congressional Luncheon
Thursday. Quite frank
ly, most are very boring.
For some reason this year
seemed more energized.
I was happy to see
Representative Larry
O’Neal and Senator Ross
Tolleson ea«h recognized
with the Georgia Chamber’s
highest honor “Legislator of
the Year”, for their excep
tional efforts to promote the
chamber’s 2008 legislative
agenda.
I liked Johnny Isakson’s
speech. It was good to hear a
politician talk about a plan to
help solve our energy prob
lems and not blame someone
else for the problem. He even
said that T. Boone Pickens’
plan would work. Not some
thing you would hear many
Congressional leaders say. I
have read through Pickens’
plan and liked what he had
to say.
I would like to thank
the Perry Area Chamber
and Megan Smith for their
hard work to bring this

Robbery part of busy day for WRPB
Car linked to homicide recovered
By KRYSTAL RINER
Journal Staff Writer
It was a day in which it
sounded - listening to the
911 traffic, anyway - like
the Warner Robins Police
Department responded to
pretty much everything
Thursday. Not only that but it
occurred during a somewhat
small window of time in the
early morning.
There was a call in regard
to two mdn “with guns” and
threatening to shoot each

Great Plan
still alive
By CHARLOTTE
PERKINS
Journal Staff Writer
In the months leading up
to the 2008 session of the
Georgia General Assembly,
Glenn Richardson had a
crusade going against the
property tax.
The Republican Speaker
of the House, who hails
from Hiram proposed his
Great Plan for Georgia,
which would - in a nut
shell - abolish all

other. There was a call to
respond to Warner Robins
High School in regard to a
student with a knife. There
was a call to respond where a
man had a gun and was hold
ing a child.
Those were, at least from a
listener’s standpoint, resolved

Sandwiched in between
was a robbery. That occurred
