Hmm??, so the Gwinnett County budget needs to be cut. Every other pool at a community park in Gwinnett has to give up a day.
But Dacula's pool is to be closed permanently.
What do you think?

Mayor Announces for Re-election
I wanted to take this opportunity to announce that I am running for reelection. Every day, for the past eight years, I have been honored to serve as your mayor and humbled at the opportunity. I appreciate your trust and support.
The person you elect as mayor on November 3, 2009 will have major impacts on critical issues—issues that affect your daily quality of life. We are in an economic cycle that most of our residents have never seen before. The City faces economic uncertainty, and we, as individuals, are hurting—some without jobs or health insurance, others with foreclosed homes. While the economic downturn we are facing will certainly recover, we have no clear idea how long this will take nor what decisive measures will be needed for the city.
How can a voter or supporter of Dacula determine the leadership style needed in this crucial time? I can think of only one criterion with which to make this judgment: the record and experience of the leader.
Please consider the improvements to quality of life issues, safety improvements, community development and economic development made during my tenure as mayor. Best of all recognize that the City is financially sound because of prudent policies on budgeting and taxation. Take note of the fact that the property tax millage rate has stayed the same or been reduced in each of those eight years.
Naturally, the mayor cannot do these things alone! Our dedicated staff and the City Council deserve praise for our continuing development and municipal improvement. While not everything has gone completely according to our Dacula vision, it is the job of the mayor to help create the vision and make sure it stays on track.
I ask you to help me continue our vision—a vision of a place we call home—a safe, family-friendly and progressive city. Please use your influence, cast your vote and support Jimmy Wilbanks for Mayor on November 3, 2009 at the Dacula City Hall.
