I have been getting a huge deluge of SPAM on the discussion board.  Today I spent probably over an hour deleting SPAM accounts.  Sometimes it isn’t always obvious what is a SPAM account since they have managed to get into Gmail/Hotmail/etc.  I went through and looked up each accounts IP address and if the country of origin was non-USA I deleted the account.  If by some chance someone here registered whilst out of the country please do accept my apologies and re-register.

Commissioner Larry Johnson, in response to the growing concern that the corridors around DeKalb were inundated with litter, recommended that a special work group be developed — the Litter Patrol. With funding appropriated in the 2007 budget the Litter Patrol came into being, April 6, 2007.

The Litter Patrol is designed to be a control measure in monitoring and maintaining the county’s rights-of-way, corridors, state roads and interchanges.
