Break 1: MOG



STORY 1: Briscoe Field getting its first-ever Black-owned pilot school this summer

Briscoe Field in Lawrenceville is set to welcome its first Black-owned pilot school, Lookup Flight Academy, following a 25-year lease approval by county commissioners. The school, occupying 2.3 acres at the airport, is expected to commence operations this summer. It aims to enhance diversity within the aviation industry by providing comprehensive training for aspiring pilots from underrepresented communities. Lookup Flight Academy will renovate a hangar for its use, contributing to the creation of new opportunities and pathways for future leaders in aviation.

STORY 2: Kevin Maloof Humbled by Gwinnett Sports Hall of Fame Honor

Kevin Maloof has been formally recognized for his significant contributions to sports in Gwinnett County with an induction into the Gwinnett County Sports Hall of Fame. This honor reflects not just his personal achievements but also acknowledges the collaborative efforts of the communities and individuals he engaged with throughout a coaching career that extended over 26 years. Maloof, who is particularly noted for his two-decade tenure at Dacula, has made enduring contributions in both football and baseball. His retirement in 2010 was prompted by health concerns, concluding a notable career distinguished by the development of a coaching legacy that includes figures such as his brother Keith Maloof and Paul Standard.

STORY 3: Snellville Names New Assistant City Manager

Snellville city officials recently appointed Mercy Montgomery as the new Assistant City Manager. Montgomery, transitioning from her prior role as Assistant City Manager in Chamblee, brings extensive experience overseeing departments such as Parks and Recreation, Planning and Development, and Economic Development. She also has a rich background in policy development and special projects, including housing strategies and downtown revitalization efforts. Montgomery, excited about her new role, aims to contribute to Snellville's growth and the success of The Grove area. Holding degrees in education and public administration from the University of Georgia, alongside considerable experience in economic development and community services, Montgomery is well-positioned to support Snellville's leadership and staff in fostering innovation and progress within the community.

STORY 4: North Gwinnett Student Starts Warrior Kindness Initiative To Counter Bullying

North Gwinnett High School junior, Brodie Mullin, a multi-talented artist with skills in dancing, rapping, composing, and acting, has initiated the Warrior Kindness Initiative aimed at combating bullying through the power of music. Drawing on his own experiences of being bullied, Mullin created the song "Warrior," which has been recognized as Song of the Year at the Atlanta Kidz Choice Awards. This song, alongside his initiative, seeks to promote kindness and understanding. Mullin's commitment to creating impactful music extends to other areas as well, demonstrated by his creation of "Bulldog Nation" for North Gwinnett football games. His talent has also been acknowledged through nominations for Best Youth Artist and Best Music Video by prestigious awards. Beyond music, Mullin is an accomplished martial artist and has contributed to educational web series and theater productions. He continues to perform at various events, using his platform to spread messages of kindness and resilience.

STORY 5: Gwinnett Techical College Celebrates Local Builders And Manufacturers

Gwinnett Technical College recently held its inaugural Builders and Manufacturers appreciation event, celebrating the critical role that builders and manufacturers play in community development and economic growth. Dr. D. Glen Cannon, president of Gwinnett Tech, emphasized the importance of these sectors in workforce development and innovation during the event on April 19. The college expressed its gratitude for the industry's support and partnership, which enhances education and training programs, preparing students for successful careers. Notable attendees included Technical College System of Georgia Commissioner Greg Dozier, who provided updates on career programs and apprenticeships, and Governor Brian P. Kemp, who congratulated the efforts via a taped message. Siemens, WIKA Instrument Corporation, and Porter Steel were specially recognized for their contributions to innovation, legacy partnership, and service to students, respectively. The event also served as a platform for networking and exploring further partnership opportunities in workforce development.

STORY 1:State Rep. Pedro Marin To Give Georgia Gwinnett College Commencement Speech

Representative Pedro “Pete” Marin (HD-96) will address the graduating class of Georgia Gwinnett College on May 9, 2024, ahead of their commencement ceremony. Marin, who has served as a state representative for 22 years, played a pivotal role in the creation of GGC and has been a staunch supporter of the college throughout his tenure. His speech will highlight the graduates' contributions to Gwinnett County and Georgia's economy, emphasizing their potential impact in various fields. Marin's extensive leadership experience and community involvement make him a fitting choice to inspire the graduating class as they embark on their professional journeys. The commencement ceremony will take place at Gas South Arena, beginning with the procession at 9:30 a.m. followed by the ceremony at 10 a.m.

STORY 2:Gwinnett County's first wetland park will open in 2025

Gwinnett County is set to open its inaugural county-operated wetland park in unincorporated Duluth next year, called Beaver Ruin Wetland Park. Costing $14.8 million and spanning 86 acres, the park aims to naturally filter stormwater runoff before it reaches nearby waterways. Commissioner Kirkland Carden highlighted its benefits for District 1 residents' well-being. Once completed, the park will offer recreational activities while serving as a natural filtration system for runoff from a 4.5-square-mile area. Gwinnett County aims for platinum-level certification in environmental stewardship, with funding from various sources including sales tax funds and the Recreation Fund. The park will feature amenities like a wildlife observation tower, boardwalk, playground, picnic area, and educational exhibits. Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson sees the park as a catalyst for positive change and sustainability.



STORY 3:Governor signs tax cut legislation into law

Governor Brian Kemp signed HB 1015 into law, accelerating Georgia's largest state income tax cut in history. Sponsored by Rep. Lauren McDonald and co-sponsored by other legislators, it accelerates the reduction in income tax rates, with the rate for Tax Year 2024 lowered to 5.39%. This marks a significant cut from the previous rate of 5.75%. The Office of Planning and Budget estimates taxpayer savings of approximately $1.1 billion in 2024 and $3 billion over the next decade. Kemp also signed several other bills, including HB 1023, which lowers the corporate income tax rate, HB 581, enabling a constitutional amendment for property tax relief, HB 1021, increasing the state's income tax dependent exemption, and SB 496, expanding criteria for historic home certification and extending tax credits for rehabilitation and rural zone revitalization.

STORY 3:Norcross man receives double life sentences for murdering Lawrenceville brothers

Walter Debron Hill, convicted of murdering brothers Darius Myles and Christopher Smith, received two life sentences without parole, plus 10 years.

Family members identified Hill as a possible suspect, noting his friendship with the victims. Hill initially denied involvement but was linked to the crime by shell casings found in Texas. He returned to Georgia and was arrested. Despite evidence, Hill showed no remorse. The Gwinnett County DA called the sentence justice for the tragic loss.
