Are the right people out there on Green Up Day?

ATHENS — As I was doing my annual Route 35 Green Up beat, I got to thinking.

The writer says he feels like a “sap.” For me, I'm going with “chump.”

It seems real easy for me to connect the dots between drinking/driving and beer cans on the side of the road.

Shouldn't our neighbors who have been dinged with a DUI be doing this work? I am not sure we've got the right people cleaning up on the first Saturday in May.
