As you probably already know Governor Deal appointed Mike Jacobs to a judgeship opening up a nice political opportunity a bit closer to home than Perry. While a couple of potential candidates have announced they will seek the post Rumour Central (hashtag NothingButLies) reports that backroom negotiations are underway to clear the decks for Jester to slide into the position. One former confidant of the power couple remarked "they do much better without opposition" and while the announced Democrat may not pull out any Democrat will have a snowball's chance in hell given this is a blood red district. The confidant could or would not confirm which Jester would take the slot but did suggest that if no drug or background checks are required the school board might be looking to fill an open slot.
