One of six candidates was absent

Five of the six hopefuls this year for Oconee County Council took part in last night’s League of Women Voters forum in Seneca.  The one no-show:  District Four challenger Tommy James.  An LWV ruling forbade James’s opponent, the incumbent Julian Davis, from taking part, although Davis was permitted brief introductory comments.  In those comments, Davis said the OCC, the Oconee Conservatives Club, is planning a forum for both him and his opponent, James, and that he, Davis, looks forward to the event.
