Local briefs: Summer Short Session II classes at UGA, Commissioners meet in Danielsville, Elberton

Complaints about the website come from Republican Representatives Jody Hice and Andrew Clyde, both of whom serve in House districts that cover Athens.

Today is the first day of Summer Short Session Two classes at the University of Georgia: UGA is ramping up for the August 17 start of fall semester.
