Year Of Controversy and Progress In Athens 1969
The coming decade won’t erase Athens local government problems. 1969 brought progress and clashes over the county child welfare program, police relations with youths, zoning enforcement, and political campaigns. The year saw river and highway projects, new laws, a bottling plant, recreation plans, a parking garage, bus system losses, a charter commission, and planning bodies forming while the children services program faced funding and location battles. The key issue remains the county children services program and the future home for displaced children amid expected financial strain and state withdrawal of support.
