Washington Co. coal plant poses risks to citizens

Thank you for your editorial in opposition to the proposed coal-fired power plant in Washington County. As a resident of Washington County and UGA graduate, I appreciate your support and your drawing attention to this issue. This plant poses a great threat to our health, our environment, our water, and our future. For many local residents, the promise of 120 full-time jobs obscures these dangers. Thank you again.

Sorority mix-up raises questions

The article “College allows for celebration of diversity” caught my attention for the wrong reason. As a member of Alpha Sigma Rho, I was perplexed and then shocked by Ms. Jackson’s blending of ASR and Delta Phi Lambda, an Asian-interest sorority on campus. It may have been an honest mistake, but it’s the little things like this that make the Red and Black appear to be an unreliable source.
