Coleman was elected in 2002 and took office in 2003 and after serv- ing all those years on the bench, he’s decided to retire. Thursday was Coleman’s final day in office. Coleman has worked in the local courts system for more than four decades. Before he was elected as the county judge, Coleman worked as a prosecutor for 25 years. He started working at the State Attorney’s Office in 1977. As a prosecutor, Coleman tried over 200 felony juried trials with a con- viction rate that was roughly 93%. He lost 16 cases in trying more than 200 cases. Coleman said he is going to miss several things when he retires. “I think what I will miss, besides some really wonderful people that I worked with, you can’t overlook that, but it’s the fact I got to work TONY BRITT/Lake City Reporter with people as the county judge,” Tom Coleman, who has been the lone Columbia County Judge for the past 18 years, poses in a courtroom, before his retirement last he said, noting as a prosecutor Thursday.

Paying down debt Buy now, pay later can be seen as a hybrid of debit meets credit. Consumers can potentially get several weeks, months or even years with a 0% interest rate, which makes it the same as a debit card that gets paid over time. More people backed away from credit card spending this year. Credit card debt is down 11% since February, according to the Federal Reserve Bank. That’s partly due to a mix of government stimulus, less overall spending and households making debt payoff a priority. “Open-ended credit scares a lot of peo- ple,” Rossman said. “The average credit card charges 16%, and if you only make the minimum payments, your debt can stretch on for years.” The majority of people who bought LEFT: The Arise Coffee Bar’s second location in the Live Oak items on an installment plan have access Commons offers outdoor (and indoor) seating as a way to let people meet and chat.
