Morning Reads for Tuesday, December 17
Good morning!
- Bipartisan efforts between Representatives Lucy McBath and Buddy Carter aim to improve public health technology.
- Work is underway to revise Georgia’s math standards. (No, this is not an article about the proposed state budget cuts.)
- Max Blau gives us compelling reporting on the state of healthcare in Georgia’s prisons. Here are two of his articles on the issue.
- The Richmond Hill soldier who was killed in the Pensacola base shooting was laid to rest yesterday.
- Georgia Power halves their rate increase request.
- DeKalb Ethics Board II.
- The precedent-setting Atlanta open records case continues.
- Scrunchies are back, in a big way – and there’s a strong case here that they never should have left in the first place. (NB: VSCO rhymes with Cisco, as in, “VSCO girl was a friend of mine…”)

About 63% of the cancellation list is made up of white voters, who account for 59% of all registered voters.”
