Congratulations to Ms. Linda, she truly deserves this award. She has done a great job for The City of Auburn. By comparison we have "Chip" and cronies! We are the laughingstock of Georgia.

Linda has been blessing for Auburn. She changed the face of the city and put us back on the map. We are no longer the laughing stock of Barrow co. She deserves this award and in my mind already won it.

No Auburn isn't the laughing stock, Winder is.
