Editor's note: This article has been revised to reflect the following correction, which will appear in Friday's print edition: Statesboro City Council will hold a special called meeting at 8 a.m. Friday in City Hall. An article on the front page Thursday listed the wrong time. Despite an earlier announcement by Mayor Joe Brannen to the contrary, residents of Statesboro’s District 1 will likely not have to wait six-plus months to fill a council seat vacated by the resigning Tommy Blitch.
