Georgia saw major legal and political developments this week as Peter J. Skandalakis stepped in to lead the state’s 2020 election interference case after Fani Willis’ removal. His appointment came the same day three charges against Donald Trump were dismissed, though 32 counts remain. The Public Service Commission is also moving toward a key December 19 vote on Georgia Power’s proposal to expand capacity by 10,000 megawatts. Environmental groups object to the decision being made before newly elected commissioners Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard take office.
Across the state, CDC employees returned from furlough, ACA enrollees are facing rising premiums, and the federal rooftop solar tax credit is set to expire at year’s end. In Macon, a man was convicted of hate crimes for targeting State Representative Esther Panitch with antisemitic messages.
