On today’s Closer Look with Rose Scott, WABE Political Reporter Rahul Bali recaps the Georgia GOP Convention that occurred this past weekend in Columbus, Georgia. It includes statements from former President Trump about the investigation into his actions after the 2020 Election in Fulton County.




Then, we speak with Deputy Administrator Tristan Brown from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. There are more than 1.2 million shipments of hazardous materials each day in America – many of it travels on the same road and rail lines as average commuters. PHMSA has also seen a rise in HAZMAT-related accidents over the past decade. Brown discusses roadway safety and what’s causing the spike.




Also, Grady Health Systems plans to open to new outpatient centers south of I-20 to fill the void of emergency care following the closure of Atlanta Medical Center’s facilities. We speak to Grady President & CEO John Haupert about their effort to address the local healthcare needs.
