Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG
STORY 1: Hudgens Center Hosting Pair of Exhibits Through April
The Hudgens Center for Art and Learning in Duluth is hosting two exhibitions through April. The 10th annual “Stand in Ansel Adams’ Footsteps” juried competition, featuring 133 black-and-white nature photos, runs until April 26, celebrating the iconic landscape photographer. “Pause, Reflect, Prepare,” showcasing figurative sculptures by Decatur artist Jess Self, continues through April 19. Self’s work incorporates materials like wax, wool, and wood, reflecting her expertise in sculpture. Both exhibits highlight the center’s mission to connect art lovers and learners. Visit the Hudgens Center on Sugarloaf Parkway for more details.
STORY 2: Senate confirms Loeffler to run U.S. Small Business Administration
Former Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., has been confirmed as director of the federal Small Business Administration in a 52-46 Senate vote. Loeffler, previously appointed to the Senate in 2020 by Gov. Brian Kemp, lost her seat to Democrat Raphael Warnock in 2021. A former CEO and co-owner of the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream, she is married to Jeff Sprecher, CEO of Intercontinental Exchange. A Trump loyalist, Loeffler supported efforts to challenge Georgia’s 2020 election results. She also founded Greater Georgia to boost GOP voter registration. Loeffler joins other Georgians in key federal roles under Trump’s second term.
STORY 3: Duracell R&D headquarters coming to Atlanta
Duracell will establish its Global Research and Development Headquarters in Atlanta, investing $56 million and creating 110 jobs. The facility will be located near Georgia Tech’s Midtown campus at Science Square, a hub for innovation. Duracell, which already operates facilities in LaGrange and Fairburn, aims to strengthen its position as a global leader in battery technology. Gov. Brian Kemp highlighted Georgia’s appeal to innovative companies due to its research institutions, logistics network, and pro-business environment. The project was supported by state and local economic development partners.

STORY 4: UPDATE: Argument Leads To Deadly Shooting At Lawrenceville Area McDonald's
A workplace dispute turned deadly Wednesday in the parking lot of a Lawrenceville McDonald’s, leaving 43-year-old Donald Stewart dead and his boss, 40-year-old Michael Todd, in custody. Gwinnett police reported the incident occurred on Sugarloaf Parkway just before noon. Stewart was shot in the back and later died at a hospital. Todd remained at the scene and was arrested, facing charges including malice murder, felony murder, and aggravated assault. The argument between the co-workers escalated into the fatal shooting.
STORY 5: House panel approves easing burden of proof of intellectual disability in capital cases
A Georgia House committee advanced House Bill 123, which aims to ease the process for death penalty defendants to claim intellectual disability as a defense. The bill would lower the burden of proof from “beyond a reasonable doubt” to “preponderance of the evidence” and separate the determination of intellectual disability from the trial’s guilt phase. Advocates argue this reduces the risk of executing individuals with intellectual disabilities, aligning Georgia with other states. Critics, including a district attorney, warn it could complicate seeking the death penalty. The bill now moves to the House Rules Committee for a floor vote.
Break 3: GCPS
STORY 6: Officials Release Sketch To Help Identify Missing Remains Found In Gwinnett County
Lawrenceville Police released a sketch to identify human remains found near Georgia Highway 316 and Duluth Highway on Feb. 10. Construction workers discovered a human skull near Northside Gwinnett Hospital, but no other remains were located. Forensic experts determined the skull belonged to a Caucasian man aged 35 to 70. A sketch by a Georgia Bureau of Investigation artist depicts what the man may have looked like. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact the Lawrenceville Police Department or Gwinnett County Medical Examiner’s Office.
STORY 7: State Senate passes farmland preservation constitutional change
The Georgia Senate approved a constitutional amendment to double the farmland eligible for conservation tax breaks from 2,000 to 4,000 acres, passing 51-1. The measure, part of efforts to preserve farmland amid significant losses over 50 years, will go to voters in a 2026 referendum. If approved, it would take effect in 2027. The Senate also passed an accompanying bill to set the referendum date. Supporters, like Sen. Sam Watson, highlighted the need to adapt the Conservation Use Valuation Assessment (CUVA) program to modern farming trends with larger family farms. The legislation now heads to the Georgia House.

Today is Saturday, March 22nd and Happy Birthday to William Shatner I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. 'Beyond heroic' — VALOR Awards Honor Gwinnett Public Safety Officials Tort reform bill squeaks through Georgia House Georgia Supreme Court takes up State Election Board rules changes All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: 'Beyond heroic' — VALOR Awards Honor Gwinnett Public Safety Officials The Gwinnett Chamber hosted its 20th Annual VALOR Public Safety Awards, honoring first responders for their dedication to keeping Gwinnett County safe. Held at the Gas South District, the event gathered over 360 attendees, including business leaders and community members. President Nick Masino highlighted the vital role of public safety in fostering a thriving community. Awards recognized exceptional service, including Major Michelle Anglin for Leadership, Corporal Sean Donahue as Public Safety Person of the Year, and the Behavioral Health Unit as Public Safety Unit of the Year. The ceremony celebrated the heroism and commitment of Gwinnett's first responders. STORY 2: Tort reform bill squeaks through Georgia House The Georgia House narrowly passed Senate Bill 68, a GOP-backed tort reform measure, with a 91-82 vote. The bill, a priority for Gov. Brian Kemp, aims to curb excessive jury awards and stabilize liability insurance costs by introducing premises liability guidelines, allowing seat belt evidence in auto cases, and limiting medical damage claims to actual costs. Supporters argue it will benefit businesses, while opponents, including many Democrats, claim it reduces access to justice and unfairly impacts crime victims. The bill includes a carveout for sex trafficking victims but faces criticism for excluding other crime victims. It now returns to the Senate for review. STORY 3: Georgia Supreme Court takes up State Election Board rules changes Civil rights and voting rights groups urged the Georgia Supreme Court to uphold a lower-court ruling invalidating seven election law changes made by the Republican-controlled State Election Board (SEB) last fall. The changes included hand-counting ballots, delaying result certification for fraud inquiries, stricter absentee ballot requirements, and expanded poll watcher areas. A Fulton County judge previously ruled the SEB overstepped its authority, violating the separation of powers. However, state and Republican lawyers argued the SEB acted within its rights and that the plaintiffs lacked legal standing to sue. The case centers on the balance of legislative and executive powers. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: STORY 4: Gwinnett Police Again Ask For Public's Help In Fatal Hit-and-Run Investigation The Gwinnett County Police Department is seeking new information about a hit-and-run that killed 24-year-old Mecha Woodard on September 27, 2024. Woodard was struck while walking on the eastbound shoulder of State Route 316 near Breckenridge Blvd. The suspect vehicle, a Lexus RX350 or RX450 (2019-2022), sustained damage to the front passenger-side bumper and headlight. Investigators urge anyone with information to contact Gwinnett Police Detectives at 678-442-5653 or submit anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477 or www.stopcrimeATL.com, with potential cash rewards for leads. STORY 5: Senate measure to trim state agency rules advances toward a vote by the House The Georgia House Budget and Fiscal Affairs Oversight Committee advanced Senate Bill 28, the "Red Tape Rollback Act," aimed at reducing outdated or burdensome state agency rules. Sponsored by Sen. Greg Dolezal, the bill requires agencies to review rules every four years and conduct impact analyses for proposed rules costing $3 million or more in compliance over five years. Republicans view it as a way to streamline bureaucracy, while Democrats argue it could burden agencies and taxpayers. Amendments raised the impact analysis threshold and required analyses to be posted online. The bill now heads to the House Rules Committee. Break 3: STORY 6: State Senate health committee approves IVF bill House Bill 428, which codifies the right to in vitro fertilization (IVF) in Georgia, unanimously passed a Senate committee. Prompted by an Alabama ruling treating frozen embryos as children, the bill ensures IVF remains accessible in Georgia without introducing new regulations. Sponsor Rep. Lehman Franklin, who has personal experience with IVF, emphasized the bill simply formalizes current practices. Parents shared emotional testimonies about their IVF journeys, while some called for ethical regulations on embryo handling. The bill now heads to the Senate Rules Committee for a full Senate vote. STORY 7: Teen fatally shot during 'Senior Skip Day' at Denny Dobbs Park An 18-year-old Salem High School student, Justin Etienne, was fatally shot Wednesday at Denny Dobbs Park during an informal "Senior Skip Day" event involving students from Newton and Rockdale counties. The Newton County Sheriff’s Office described the incident as isolated, with no gang involvement or additional injuries. Grief counselors were made available at schools, and law enforcement increased patrols as a precaution. Authorities are urging witnesses or anyone with information to come forward. Both Newton and Rockdale school systems expressed condolences and emphasized the event was not school-sanctioned. The investigation is ongoing.

Today is Thursday, March 20th and Happy birthday to Fred Rodgers ***03.20.25 - BIRTHDAY – FRED RODGERS*** I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. GGC expert offers recession insights and strategies Gwinnett prisoner convicted of selling fentanyl to fellow inmates, who overdosed on the drugs More than 5,000 enjoy annual Suwanee Beer Fest Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on fast food All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: GGC expert offers recession insights and strategies Dr. Philip Vinson, economics professor at Georgia Gwinnett College, explains that recessions are triggered by unique, unpredictable factors like tariffs, political instability, or technological disruptions, rather than predictable cycles. He highlights current risks, including global instability and a potential AI bubble burst, which could lead to declining sales, layoffs, and rising unemployment. Inflation complicates Federal Reserve responses, as lowering interest rates could worsen it. Vinson advises individuals to prepare by building savings for potential unemployment and avoiding panic stock sales, suggesting downturns can offer long-term investment opportunities. STORY 2: Gwinnett prisoner convicted of selling fentanyl to fellow inmates, who overdosed on the drugs Harry Fomby, 54, was convicted of murder and drug charges for smuggling fentanyl into the Gwinnett County Correctional Complex, leading to the overdose deaths of inmates Corey Bryant, 22, and Ian Longshore, 36, in September 2021. Evidence included surveillance footage, X-ray scans, and recorded phone calls linking Fomby to the drug distribution. He received two life sentences. District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson emphasized the dangers of fentanyl and the need for prevention efforts, mourning the loss of two lives that could have been turned around. STORY 3: More than 5,000 enjoy annual Suwanee Beer Fest The 14th annual Suwanee Beer Fest brought 5,000 attendees to Town Center Park on St. Patrick’s Day weekend, featuring 400 craft beers from 107 breweries. Ranked the No. 1 beer festival by USA Today Readers’ Choice Awards, the event included live music, costume contests, and interactive activities like axe throwing and inflatable beer pong. Attendees voted for their favorite brews, with StillFire Brewing’s Black Mask Imperial Stout winning Best Beer in Georgia. The festival celebrated craft beer culture with vibrant costumes, engaging vendors, and a strong sense of community. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

The brothers, who had gunshot wounds, were initially ruled a murder-suicide by the GBI, though their family disputes this claim. Kerlin was fired following his arrest. Autopsies are complete, but the final cause of death awaits further forensic tests. The twins’ family is calling for deeper investigation, believing the deaths were not self-inflicted. STORY 5: YMCA of Metro Atlanta Opens Registration for 2025 Summer Day Camps The YMCA of Metro Atlanta has opened registration for its 2025 summer day camps, offering children ages 5-15 a chance to build confidence, develop character, and stay active. Camps, available at 18 locations, include traditional activities like games and outdoor exploration, as well as specialty options like cooking, basketball, drama, and STEAM.

Todd remained at the scene and was arrested, facing charges including malice murder, felony murder, and aggravated assault. The argument between the co-workers escalated into the fatal shooting. STORY 5: House panel approves easing burden of proof of intellectual disability in capital cases A Georgia House committee advanced House Bill 123, which aims to ease the process for death penalty defendants to claim intellectual disability as a defense. The bill would lower the burden of proof from “beyond a reasonable doubt” to “preponderance of the evidence” and separate the determination of intellectual disability from the trial’s guilt phase. Advocates argue this reduces the risk of executing individuals with intellectual disabilities, aligning Georgia with other states. Critics, including a district attorney, warn it could complicate seeking the death penalty. The bill now moves to the House Rules Committee for a floor vote. Break 3: GCPS STORY 6: Officials Release Sketch To Help Identify Missing Remains Found In Gwinnett County Lawrenceville Police released a sketch to identify human remains found near Georgia Highway 316 and Duluth Highway on Feb. 10. Construction workers discovered a human skull near Northside Gwinnett Hospital, but no other remains were located. Forensic experts determined the skull belonged to a Caucasian man aged 35 to 70. A sketch by a Georgia Bureau of Investigation artist depicts what the man may have looked like. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact the Lawrenceville Police Department or Gwinnett County Medical Examiner’s Office. STORY 7: State Senate passes farmland preservation constitutional change The Georgia Senate approved a constitutional amendment to double the farmland eligible for conservation tax breaks from 2,000 to 4,000 acres, passing 51-1. The measure, part of efforts to preserve farmland amid significant losses over 50 years, will go to voters in a 2026 referendum. If approved, it would take effect in 2027. The Senate also passed an accompanying bill to set the referendum date. Supporters, like Sen. Sam Watson, highlighted the need to adapt the Conservation Use Valuation Assessment (CUVA) program to modern farming trends with larger family farms. The legislation now heads to the Georgia House.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedGDP Script/ Top Stories for February 20th Publish Date: February 20th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, February 20th and Happy birthday to I’m Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett government opts out of statewide homestead exemption Investigators seize 23 kilograms of meth during raids in Gwinnett Jackson EMC Foundation awards $80K to agencies serving Gwinnett County residents Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on seed oil All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Gwinnett government opts out of statewide homestead exemption Gwinnett County commissioners unanimously opted out of a new statewide floating homestead exemption tied to inflation, arguing their existing Value Offset Exemption (VOE) offers better savings. The VOE freezes taxable property values at the level when a homeowner first claimed the exemption, unlike the statewide version, which adjusts annually for inflation. County officials highlighted that the VOE has kept county taxes stable despite rising property values. The school system, which accounts for two-thirds of property tax bills, will hold hearings Thursday to decide whether to opt out as well. Residents can attend at 11 a.m. or 6 p.m. in Suwanee. STORY 2: Investigators seize 23 kilograms of meth during raids in Gwinnett Six people, including a mother and daughter, were arrested during raids on two methamphetamine operations in Gwinnett County on Feb. 12. The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office, working with the Gwinnett Metro Task Force and FBI Atlanta, seized 23 kilograms of methamphetamine and over $6,000 in cash from locations in Lilburn and Norcross. Charges ranged from trafficking methamphetamine to possession and obstruction of law enforcement. The Sheriff’s Office praised the collaborative efforts to enhance community safety. STORY 3: Jackson EMC Foundation awards $80K to agencies serving Gwinnett County residents The Jackson EMC Foundation awarded $99,890 in grants, with $80,000 benefiting Gwinnett County organizations. Recipients include Hebron Community Health Center and Hope Clinic for medical and mental health services, The Salvation Army for housing assistance, and Home Repairs Ministries for critical home repairs. Other grants supported virtual healthcare access, therapy for abuse survivors, and literacy promotion. Funded by the Operation Round Up program, which rounds members' electric bills to the nearest dollar, the initiative has provided over $21.5 million in community grants since 2005. Applications for grants are open to individuals and organizations in Jackson EMC’s 10-county service area. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: RINGLING BROS_FINAL STORY 4: Georgia Supreme Court raises concerns about 2019 child custody law The Georgia Supreme Court raised concerns about the 2019 Equitable Caregiver law, which allows non-legal parents to seek custody or visitation if they’ve had a parental role and bond with a child. In the case of *Dias v. Boone*, the court reversed a lower court's decision granting Abby Boone caregiver status over Michelle Dias’s child, ruling the law didn’t apply since Boone’s relationship with the child predated the law. While the justices questioned the law’s impact on parental rights, they did not strike it down, instead issuing a narrow ruling specific to this case. STORY 5: Gwinnett Technical College Names New Vice President of Economic Development Gwinnett Technical College has named Lauren Dodson as its new Vice President of Economic Development. With over 15 years of experience in sciences and education, Dodson will oversee economic development, customized training, Quick Start, and continuing education services to address workforce needs. Her background includes roles at Partnership Gwinnett, Georgia EMC, and the Technology Association of Georgia, as well as teaching science in Gwinnett County Public Schools. Gwinnett Tech President Dr. D. Glen Cannon praised her contributions to the community and technology sector, calling her a perfect fit for the role. Dodson holds advanced degrees in education and lives in Tucker with her family.

Today is Tuesday, February 18th and Happy Birthday to John Travolta ***02.18.25 - BIRTHDAY – JOHN TRAVOLTA*** I’m Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia Mulberry looking to annex commercial properties on city's outskirts Andrew Young reflects on lessons from a life of service and partnerships Georgia Attorney General under fire over lawsuit targeting federal disability protections statute All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Kia MOG (07.14.22 KIA MOG) STORY 1: Mulberry looking to annex commercial properties on city's outskirts Mulberry, Gwinnett County's newest city, is pursuing legislation to annex over 100 mostly commercial land parcels, aiming for zoning control over key corridors like Hamilton Mill and Braselton Highway. Unlike Lawrenceville's residential-focused annexation plan, Mulberry's proposal, led by Mayor Michael Coker and State Sen. Clint Dixon, targets commercial centers like the Walmart at Hamilton Mill and Sardis Church Roads. The annexation, outlined in Senate Bill 139, won’t significantly impact Mulberry’s population and doesn’t require a referendum, focusing instead on managing future development and zoning. STORY 2: Andrew Young reflects on lessons from a life of service and partnerships Andrew Young, at 92, continues to inspire as a Civil Rights leader, former Atlanta mayor, and U.N. ambassador. His life and Atlanta’s growth are celebrated in an exhibit at the Lawrenceville Arts Center through March 31. During a fireside chat, Young shared stories of regional cooperation, advice from his father—“Don’t get mad, get smart”—and his resilience during a 1964 Civil Rights march attack. Reflecting on today’s polarized politics, he emphasized patience, collaboration, and focusing on helping others as keys to progress and democracy. STORY 3: Georgia Attorney General under fire over lawsuit targeting federal disability protections statute Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr faces criticism from lawmakers and disability advocates over a lawsuit targeting Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which protects individuals with disabilities from discrimination. Carr’s office claims the lawsuit only challenges a Biden-era rule adding "gender dysphoria" as a protected disability, but critics argue it seeks to declare Section 504 unconstitutional, jeopardizing broader protections. Families fear this could lead to attacks on other laws like IDEA, which supports students with disabilities. Advocates stress the importance of accommodations for education and independence, urging Carr to withdraw from the lawsuit to protect these vital protections.

Despite struggles, the brewery has thrived in event hosting and community support, celebrating its 5th anniversary and securing a new distributor. Co-owner Wayne Baxter remains optimistic, citing recent successes and plans to expand into distilled spirits once equipment is repaired. Alongside fundraising, Baxter is seeking new investors to help cover back debt and ensure the brewery’s future. STORY 5: Gwinnett's Overstory Rooftop Bar To Host Exclusive Código Tequila Dinner Overstory Rooftop Bar at the Westin Atlanta Gwinnett will host a special four-course dinner paired with Código 1530 Tequila on Thursday, Feb. 27, at 6 p.m. The event features Amazonian-inspired dishes like Fosforera seafood soup, Chica Morada Short Ribs, and Chocolate Dreams Cake, designed to complement the tequila’s flavors.
