Ron Sailor? Is this the same clown who was a news anchorman or something?

This Ron Sailor is a "reverend" & son of the former WSB-TV anchorman & Wayfield Foods spokesperson.
I think I saw him at Redan High School during his last missed vote. But citizens of DeKalb, don't worry. He was taking a remedial class learning how to balance his checkbook. You know, since he's had problems with writing bad checks in the past.

1) Most of the top ten vote missers actually live in the metro area, all fairly close to the capital.
2) Most are from DeKalb County.
3) Nine are Democrats.
4) Pam Stephenson is being paid $50,000 per month after she appointed herself as interim grady CEO, in addition to being paid as a liegislature, whie missing 45% of her votes.
5) Stan Watson is running for DeKalb County CEO, and is head of the DeKalb Delegation, which has a bunch of vote missers.
6) Ron Sailor doesn't even live in his district:

Apparently I was wrong. Ron Sailor was not recently at Redan High School taking classes on how to balance a checkbook.
He was laundering money.
