Georgia faces big policy questions this week, from health care access to the future of Atlanta’s neighborhoods. Democratic House District 121 candidate Eric Gisler discusses gaps in both financial and geographic access to care and says Georgia should explore solutions ranging from a public option to even a state-level single-payer study. Meanwhile, DeKalb County Schools push forward with a lawsuit against major social media companies, arguing classroom distractions and student impacts have cost the district more than $4 million.
At Atlanta City Hall, leaders debate extending multiple tax allocation districts to support the Mayor’s Neighborhood Reinvestment Initiative, with city officials stressing deep divides in opportunity and historic inequities. Across the metro, massive proposed data centers raise questions about water usage and environmental strain. In Savannah, a judge strikes down an ordinance targeting guns stolen from unlocked vehicles, prompting strong disagreement from the mayor. State lawmakers also explore regulating HOAs as foreclosures rise, while Atlanta celebrates the announcement of a new National Women’s Soccer League franchise launching in 2028. And in Gwinnett County, a new $10 million Socomec facility promises 300 jobs as Georgia’s manufacturing sector continues to grow.
