Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG

STORY 1: Gwinnett voters reject transit tax – again

Gwinnett County voters rejected a proposal to expand transit for the third time in five-and-a-half years, with a 53.7% to 46.3% margin. This marks the fifth rejection of a transit sales tax, including past proposals to join MARTA and expand the county's transit system. The latest proposal aimed to fund a major expansion of Ride Gwinnett through a 1% sales tax, including new routes and microtransit. Some voters skipped the transit tax question, citing confusion and insufficient information. The defeat means transit expansion won't be funded by sales tax but could still proceed through other funding sources.

STORY 2: Trump carries Georgia four years after losing Peach State

Former President Donald Trump secured Georgia's 16 electoral votes, narrowly defeating Vice President Kamala Harris with 50.8% to her 48.5%, according to projections. With only three rural counties left to report, Trump led by nearly 120,000 votes, significantly outperforming his 2020 loss to Joe Biden by 11,799 votes. This victory in Georgia, along with a win in North Carolina, shifted focus to the "Blue Wall" states for Democrats' hopes of retaining the White House. Trump and Harris both campaigned extensively in Georgia, with Trump holding rallies in rural areas to bolster support.

STORY 3: Gwinnett's Overstory Rooftop Bar To Host Holiday Cocktail Class

Overstory Rooftop Bar is hosting a Holiday Cocktail Class on Sunday from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., where guests can enhance their mixology skills by learning to craft two signature holiday cocktails: the Winter Chill and the Fall Spritz (NA). Led by Food and Beverage Director Ashley Castillo, the class will focus on using seasonal ingredients and refining cocktail techniques, perfect for holiday gatherings. The event takes place at the Westin Atlanta Gwinnett in Duluth, and attendees must be 21 or older. Tickets are available online.

We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info.

STORY 4: AROUND TOWN: New alleys in Lawrenceville may just bowl you over

This edition highlights Lawrenceville's alley revitalization project, a visit by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to Gwinnett, and a meeting between Gwinnett's Chairwoman and Vice President Kamala Harris. Lawrenceville is transforming alleys like Shoehorn and Honest Alley into vibrant spaces with landscaping and lighting, funded partly by a grant. Gov. Walz energized Gwinnett Democrats for Kamala Harris' campaign, likening her to a quarterback. Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson greeted Harris in Atlanta, expressing support for her presidential bid. Additionally, School Board Member Adrienne Simmons will host "Sip With Simmons" sessions for community engagement.

STORY 5: Bernie Marcus, Co-Founder of The Home Depot, Dies at 95

Bernie Marcus, co-founder of The Home Depot, passed away at 95 in Boca Raton, Florida. Known for his philanthropy, Marcus co-founded the Atlanta-based home improvement giant in 1978 with Arthur Blank. After his career, he focused on charitable work, supporting causes like medical research and Jewish initiatives. The Home Depot, headquartered in Cobb County, mourned his loss, praising his business acumen. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and other leaders highlighted Marcus's impact on business and philanthropy. Marcus's foundation has awarded over $2.7 billion in grants, supporting various causes, including the Georgia Aquarium and Autism Speaks.
