Does that mean Jay Jacobs gets a raise?
Im not surprised at all by the top 3. Living in Lee and traveling to many of the others on the list, I've seen it first hand. Mainly Lowndes and Russel. Shitholes. Chad, you forgot to mention Autauga was top 15.
Love one of the stats on my home county. Clarke County is dry, yet we are 1% above the state average in excessive drinking.
No such thing.
