Morning Reads for Tuesday, June 14
Good morning! I try to find interesting stories from across Georgia for each Tuesday’s morning reads, but I’ll be honest, this week, the pickings are slim. If there’s something fascinating (and somewhat GAPOL-related) from your part of Georgia, please share a link in the comments. Meanwhile, it’s been A Week.
- GRU, we hardly knew you.
- A handy list of the 25 counties in Georgia with the highest STD rates. Congrats for not being on the list, Rockdale! Y’all have come a long way. Are you in Clay County? Be careful out there, kids.
- Many of Cobb’s leaders participated in the topping-out ceremony for SunTrust Park.
- The fascinating, slightly bizarre history of Victoria Woodhull, America’s first female presidential candidate.
- What happens to government e-waste?
- Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney proposes the soda tax as a way to pay for other things that Philadelphians want, so plus 1 for the mayor’s candor.
- In many rural communities, McDonald’s is a key community center.
- Trump talked more about immigration.
- …and also worked real hard to undermine the free and independent press. Sad!
- Meanwhile, the Dalai Lama believes there’s hope for us all.
- Turn off the self-doubt in your head.
- …and always remember, love is love is love.

If the Regents really wanted to correct their faux paux then the medical college should have regained its heritage and name as the Medical College of Georgia.
