It's almost Crossover Day in the Georgia General Assembly, we'll talk to Sen. David Shafer. There's still a lot of misinformation on Georgia Power and the cost overruns at Plant Vogtle. Who's right? FAMU hazing folks had their charges changed in the beating death of Mr. Champion. What does this mean and what is the culture? Finally for fun, why are we not sleeping? Dr. Michael Thorpy did a study of the most sleepless cities. Savannah in the top 10...must be all the ghosts. I think Athens and Gainesville ought to be there, too.
It's the deadline for the cuts related to the sequester, will the world come to an end? And the ongoing battle between the PSC and Georgia Power. Who pays cost overruns, regardless of legislation, ultimately, the rate payer. 2014 is shaping up to be a big year in Georgia Politics. Bob Barr? Really? And, for fun, Girls Gone Wild is bankrupt. A victim of excess.
Today is the final day before the sequester. Rep. Tom Price and Sen. Marco Rubio collaborate on a solution, they say there are 45 billion in "unspent" allocations that would off set all the cuts. AG Sam Olens on Section 5 and the SCOTUS. Catholics around the world will say farewell to the Pope--last day for the Pope Emeritas. And for fun -- Titanic II?
I've had, shall we say, a challenge over the last two days on the blog. Technology is great, but when there's a glitch and I can't fix typos, that's a problem. It's all good now and thank you to our listeners and colleagues for helping me out. Now to the 3 BIG THINGS you need to know today: Mike Adams is honored and looks back at his tenure at UGA and looks ahead. Rep. Alan Powell talks about how to avoid a two front water war. And things heat up in the sequestration debate. For fun, we'll look at the possibility of a future Olympics in Atlanta.
Former Hall County Commissioner Ashley Bell has found a new home in working ithe RNC on outreach to Blacks in Georgia. Sen. Saxby Chambliss shines as the Vice Chair of the Intelligence Committee in the CIA Hearings for John Brennen. Finally, Dekalb County has had three superintendents in 3 years in its school system. Maybe it's the search committee. And more posturing in the 10th, former Congressman Mac Collins may get in and whispers on Rep. Tom Price and his run for Senate. And for fun, a dress code at the Grammys?
As a kid who went to years of Falcons games with my dad (because no one else would go with him), I am so pumped about this game. I am a much bigger college football fan, but I love the Falcons. What are your fondest memories of the Falcons? Then the Governor gives his State of the State address and gets one of the biggest and most controversial issues off the table--the Hospital Bed Tax or the Provider Fee, depending on what side you are on. DC Republicans take their winter retreat and try to find a path back out of the wilderness as DC prepares for a lackluster inaugural. Low Key is the word of the weekend. Did you watch Lance Armstrong, I didn't. I'm just sorry I ever spent any time on this guy and I think it will be too good for him to lose everything. He's ...
