Break 1: MOG



STORY 1:Buford Teen Accused Of Organizing Illegal Street Racing Activities

A 19-year-old from Buford, Mathew Dylan McCullock, was arrested and charged with organizing illegal street racing events, including one involving around 500 vehicles, according to Gwinnett police. McCullock is believed to be involved in at least two events, one dating back to March 11, 2023, and another on December 23, 2023, where as many as 500 cars gathered for illegal street racing in a Buford parking lot. The events were allegedly organized through an Instagram account called Project 85. McCullock, identified as the organizer, was arrested and charged with organizing illegal street racing and being a participant or spectator in such exhibitions.



STORY 2:Lawrenceville's Forrest Tuff Recognized By Georgia Trend As Influential Leader In The State

Forrest Tuff, founder of One Vision Productions, began his business after an injury ended his basketball career. The company, founded in 2004, offers video production, film production, and branding services. One Vision Productions has worked with prominent clients such as Coca-Cola, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Woodruff Arts Center. In 2023, Tuff received multiple awards, including the Gwinnett Black Man of Distinction S.U.N.S. Award and Georgia Trend Magazine's 500 Most Influential Leaders recognition. The company is known for its government contracting work and plans to integrate more AI technology into its services.





STORY 3:People infected with Omicron COVID-19 variant have stronger immune systems: study

A study by South Korean scientists indicates that individuals infected with the Omicron variant of the coronavirus are likely to have a more robust immune system, providing protection against future COVID-19 strains. The research suggests that the immune system adapts to new variants, with memory T cells formed during Omicron infection responding to later strains of the virus. This heightened response is observed even against later Omicron variants. The findings offer insights into the evolving nature of the immune response and may influence vaccine development strategies by inducing memory T cell defenses against emerging variants.

Break 2: GCPS – TOM WAGES – DTL



STORY 4:Secretary of State's office to host 'one-stop shop' seminar

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has announced that She Leads will host its first webinar of the year, titled “One-Stop Shop: SOS Licensing, Corporations, Securities/Charities.” The free webinar, scheduled for January 30 at 6 p.m., will provide information on various services offered by the Georgia Secretary of State’s office for small businesses, including licensing, corporations, securities, and charities. The event will feature division directors providing details about their respective divisions and guiding participants through the sos.ga.gov website. The webinar is part of the She Leads financial empowerment seminar series, aimed at increasing financial literacy and knowledge about money and wealth-building strategies.



STORY 5:Fulton 19 update: Prosecutor melodrama, squabble over documents, Eastman courthouse sighting

In the ongoing Fulton County criminal conspiracy case against Donald Trump and 18 others, a recent twist involves allegations of an improper romantic relationship between Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, a special prosecutor Nathan Wade, and a divorce court filing showing flights for them. The court filing by Wade's estranged wife claims she was not informed about Wade's hiring by Willis for the election interference investigation. Willis had filed a protective order against Jocelyn Wade, leading to an emergency motion. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has scheduled a Feb. 15 hearing to discuss the allegations of prosecutorial misconduct.



We’ll be back in a moment.

Break 3:  ESOG - INGLES 9



STORY 6:Looking for a good night’s rest? Head to this state

A survey of 5,000 Americans, commissioned by Herbalife, reveals that Californians experience the best sleep quality, despite scoring only six and a half for quality out of 10. The top five states for sleep quality also include South Carolina, New York, Maryland, and New Jersey. However, 55% of respondents can't remember their last "perfect night" of sleep, and 78% can't recall the last "perfect week." Only 48% claim to know how to get a good night's sleep, with common activities before bedtime including watching TV (66%) and scrolling through phones (38% on social media). Seventy-eight percent of respondents aim to improve their sleep in 2024.



STORY 7:Sports Betting, Education Expected To Be Top Issues In The Legislature

Georgia state Reps. Dewey McClain and Soo Hong have highlighted sports betting as a key issue during the 2024 legislative session. Speaking at a Gwinnett Chamber event, McClain emphasized that sports betting is already prevalent, and money is flowing to other states like Cherokee, N.C., where many visitors are from Georgia. Both legislators discussed various issues, including Gov. Brian Kemp's legislative priorities, medicaid expansion, affordable housing, tort reform, education, and taxes. Hong, a floor leader for Gov. Kemp, mentioned that school choice, sports betting, and medicaid expansion are expected to be significant topics in the upcoming session.



We’ll have final thoughts after this.
