Morning Reads for Tuesday, February 22
Good morning! If you say you are from Atlanta, are you sure about that?
- Jury deliberations are underway in the federal hate crimes trial of the three men convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arberry.
- Yesterday would have been John Lewis’ 82nd birthday, and on that day the John and Lillian Miles Lewis Foundation was announced with the very worthy goal of “strengthening democracy through civic engagement.”
- Teachers. We love ’em! We celebrate ’em! We are giving them a raise! Oh but also they are maybe discussing race in their classrooms. They are certainly in a bind.
- State government is not immune to the impact of the Great Resignation – and it’s a lot more complicated than it is for private businesses to just pay workers more.
- The breadth of the Hugley political dynasty in Columbus includes state and local government, as well as the Board of Education. This is a lovely profile and is worth reading.
- Georgia is one of twelve states that does not have a formal process for compensating those exonerated of a crime. This article explains why many Georgia lawmakers want that to change.
- If the City of Buckhead was going to be a thing — which it won’t be — it would be just another Democratic stronghold. Sorry, Bill!
- Kennesaw State’s Raymond Goslow is headed to the college “Jeopardy!” finals tonight!

We have a Judge who is resigning in my neck of the woods. https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/politics/regional/story/2022/feb/21/northwest-georgia-judge-resigns-raising-questions-about-wholl-choose-his-replacement-governor-or-voters/563786/
the sorry not sorry song is clever…of course when i was growing up way down in savannah, “atlanta” began around joneboro and ran all the way up to marrietta…and from 6 flags over to stone mountain or so…
Clever that it will gain her some notoriety. The premise that you had to grow up in the 1st, 3rd, or 4th wards to be an “Atlantan” is ludicrous however. Or should I say Ludacris.
We’ve got your Atlanta Deputy Chief Coming to b the top dog in Chattaooga. Do you think she is coming for the promotion for APD’s stellar crime fighting the last few years or running from the crime? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10536017/Atlantas-crime-wave-spirals-control-rapes-increase-236-murders-spike-43.html?ito=social-twitter_dailymailus
Why do people cite British papers for local stories? Even if you enjoy their reportage or think their editorial stance is peachy, how in the world can you expect them to be as informed and detailed about local stories as local media, unless of course accuracy and nuance don’t matter to you. imo the only reason to read the Daily Mail is for their pix of girls.
