I shut it down because it got hung up on opening a file on an external drive.

On pages 5 and 6 of the report, the authors make some 22 recommendations that need to be followed if the Glynn County Police Department is to “evolve” into a 21st Century organization.

Focus on the House of O’Quinn

No Way, José
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. They don’t give up and they keep getting worse.
Is their latest missive worth dissecting? I don’t know, but in good conscience I cannot let it stand.
