Power 100.1 Live at Georgia Square Mall

There is more talk about plans to redevelop the Atlanta Highway property that is home to the Georgia Square Mall: a meeting of the Mall Area Tax Allocation District Advisory Committee is set for 3 o’clock at the Athens-Clarke County Extension Office on Cleveland Road in Bogart.

Andrew Clyde, the Athens gun shop owner who represents northeast Georgia’s 9th Congressional District, is among the dozens of House Republican co-sponsors on a bill that would block President Biden’s pro-abortion executive orders.

Oconee County Republicans meet tonight: the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Political Insider Greg Bluestein is among the speakers for the 6:30 session in the Community Room at Oconee Veterans Park.

Today begins the third and final week of early voting in Georgia House District 119. Voters in Barrow and Jackson counties are choosing from a field of seven candidates in a special election that will be decided on January 31. The winner fills the seat left empty after the arrest of state Representative-elect Danny Rampey, who stepped aside after theft charges were leveled in December.

The legislative session, after a week in recess for budget work, resumes today in Atlanta. Habersham County Republican Bo Hatchett begins his new assignment as one of Governor Brian Kemp’s Senate floor leaders.
