Happy Monday, everyone! State Speaker Ryan is hosting an event with Karen Handel today. Momma always said, “if you ain’t got nothing nice to say, then keep your mouth shut.” How much does Google impact Atlanta’s economy? Hipster trash rejoice: Tiny homes are kind of allowed in Atlanta. We survived. National Trump altered the trajectory

Former State Rep. Sally Harrell (and erstwhile challenger to John Ossoff) sees a path back to the legislature, thanks to Ossoff’s upstart CD-6 race. In a statement released on Thursday, Harrell said she’s coming for Sen. Fran Millar’s seat. As Greg Bluestein helpful notes, Millar’s district flipped in the last Presidential race. Harrell made clear in
If you missed the news during your morning torture commute today, drivers everywhere are celebrating. The I-85 bridge will reopen for morning rush Monday, May 15. A full month ahead of schedule.
