Milledgeville just doesn’t get it
Dear Editor,
What a sad day for GS&SU. My husband and I are both alumni and are upset, but not surprised, by the vote from the City Council. Milledgeville has never embraced the university or its students. They enjoy the economic impact that the students make, but do not want to them to be a part of the community. Athens, where we live now, is a great example of how a community embraces a university. Yes, Athens has its issues too, but it has opened its doors to the more than 30,000 students that call this home for 4 or 5 years.
Milledgeville needs to realize that without the college students and the university it would more than likely be another Sparta or Eatonton.
Good luck to you guys and keep fighting this and maybe you will see change, go out and vote in the next election and make your voices heard.
Sincerely,
Jessica Kirk
