Gene Morris of Henry County, Walter Johnson of DeKalb County, and Anthony Norton of Rockdale, were being challenged because of their support to build the coal-fire power Plant Washington. Kaye Shipley, also of Henry County, Albert Roesel of Newton County, and Cheryl Mathis of DeKalb County form the group challenging the three. Voting took place at the cooperative s annual meeting Thursday in Georgia International Horse Park in Conyers. In the District 2 Rockdale post, 2,400 ballots were cast, with Norton beating Roesel 2,157 to 224. Nineteen ballots were voided. In the District 3 DeKalb County Post, Johnson garnered 2,099 votes to Cheryl Moore-Mathis 280. Twenty-one votes were voided. In the District 4 Henry County race, 2,392 ballots were cast, with Morris getting 2,082 votes to Shipley s 300. Ten were voided. Newton County District 1 representative Pete Knox ran unopposed. The Snapping Shoals election was a David-and- Goliath struggle between huge environmental groups with a hidden anti-coal agenda, and unlimited budgets, and the directors of a hometown electrical co-op that happens to have some of the lowest power rates in Georgia, along with very reliable service, said Morris, who has been an unofficial spokesman for the incumbents. Just like the story in the Bible, David flung his stone and the giant f ell.  Vi ew or dow nloa d at WWW.SCRIBD. COM  / HENRY  _C ITIZEN
