As a long-standing policy, @atlpressclub Debate Planning Committee selects our debate dates, and we invite candidates to participate. We selected October 16th for our U.S. Senate debate to align with the start of early voting and to ensure Congress would not be in session. #gapol

DeKalb County Commissioner Ted Terry, who represents that portion of the county & who used to run the Sierra Club’s GA chapter, was “blindsided” by the plans for the training facility. He is scared it will be a fortress surrounded by barbed wire. buff.ly/2RZuHuk

Residents of Atlanta's Forest Cove apartments say they've been living in "uninhabitable" units for years. “There are a lot of rats; we get roaches; we get mold, mildew." They want help yesterday.
