The pace

has taken its toll on Fulton County Commissioner Bill Edwards.

Edwards'

assistant, Delores Baskin, confirmed this week that Edwards was admitted

to the hospital late last week.

"He

stayed in all weekend and they released him Tuesday," she said.

Preliminary

reports from the doctors did not reveal any serious illness, and they

surmise Edwards may have just been suffering from exhaustion.

The newest

member of the Fulton County Commission has been traveling heavily throughout

the district since he took office.

Edwards has

conducted a number of town meetings and has been an active participant

in discussions over a proposed fifth runway at Hartsfield International

Airport.

Baskin expected

Edwards to attend the Feb. 7 County Commission meeting and start resuming

his normal schedule next week.
