Rhonda Oellerich, dealing with her, is like dealing with a five headed snake. I have had to on many occasions. Watch for her to be in jail or fired.
Interesting...who determined these people would be on this list?
Once you know who was on the selection committee these selections will make some sense.
Sounds like whine from sour grapes, IMO--just saying...
Wow, they totally skipped all the enterprising young businessmen engaged in cocaine and marijuana-trafficking. As well they should.
Congratulations to these ten! I hope they help make Augusta a truly better place to live for all its honest, hard-working inhabitants.
