, by Lonnie Adams
ELLIJAY, Ga. – Honoring the entire Ralston family for contributions to the county and the park specifically, including that of Georgia House Speaker David Ralston, the Gilmer County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to rename the riverside park along Old Highway 5 to “Ralston River Park.”
In April of 2018, Speaker David Ralston attended the opening of the new playground at River Park which a state grant aided local funds in creating.
Originating in this month’s meeting as an agenda item to rename the walking path for the Ralston family, discussion turned to the 28 years of service the county has received through numerous efforts from the family as a whole.

U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn called Georgia’s sweeping new voter suppression law “the new Jim Crow.”
Voting rights advocate Stacey Abrams called it “Jim Crow 2.0”
It’s all that. But in some ways – though certainly not including the prevalent racial terror and violence of the era – it’s much like old Jim Crow, wrapped up in a new package, one that’s only slightly less transparent than the laws enacted across the South in the late 1800s and early 1900s to deny Black people access to the ballot, along with many other rights. 
And so the scene of the March 25 bill signing couldn’t have been more appropriate: Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp surrounded by six other white men  standing in front of a painting of a Georgia plantation where hundreds of people had been enslaved prior to the Civil War. ....

Political Rewind:
Republican Rep. David Ralston (R-Blue Ridge) presided over yet another General Assembly session as Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives this year. He was first elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 2002, and has held the position of Speaker since 2010. It is a position that puts him at the center of the discussion and controversy  surrounding state legislative action.
No bill has garnered more attention then the election measures passed this year. But during his tenure, Ralston also earned praise for rejecting bills some opponents have called extreme and anti-democratic. The speaker points to his efforts to overhaul Georgia s citizens arrest law, and legislative action to increase funds for the state’s menta ....
