BREAK: CU of GA (06.26.24 CU OF GA FREE CHECKING_REV_FINAL)



STORY 1:$100,000 Match Pool to Benefit Local Nonprofits, Thanks to Cobb Community Foundation

The Cobb Community Foundation's "Match Magic" campaign will boost donations to select local nonprofits with a $100,000 matching pool over the next two weeks. This initiative supports 25 nonprofits identified in CCF's gift guide, focusing on areas like education, food, housing, and public safety. Donations made by Dec. 3 will be proportionally matched, up to 10% of the pool. The pool, funded by Walton Communities and other contributors, aims to amplify donor impact. Contributions can be made online or in person, with checks needing specific details and timely delivery. For more details, visit CobbFoundation.org.

STORY 2:Mableton Appoints First-Ever Ethics Board Members

The Mableton City Council has appointed seven residents to the city's first Ethics Commission, following the adoption of the Mableton Ethics Ordinance in April. This board allows citizens to file ethics complaints against city officials, who can then respond before the board makes recommendations to the City Council. Members are appointed from each district, with Joel Cope selected by the mayor. Councilmember Debora Herndon praised the volunteers for their commitment, noting the unpaid nature of the role. Mayor Owens highlighted the importance of planning for future growth, as Mableton's population is expected to increase significantly by 2050.

STORY 3:'Heaping Serving of Gratitude': Neighbors Host Big Thank You

Residents of the Meeting Park neighborhood near Marietta Square expressed their appreciation for first responders and community helpers during the Fifth Annual Big Thank You event. Organized by a committee including Jan Chandler and Lauraine Brazil, the event provided free food, drinks, and gifts to police officers, firefighters, educators, and others. Originally started by Chandler to thank those who served during the COVID-19 pandemic, the event has grown over five years. Chick-fil-A contributed food, while residents donated funds and time. Volunteers distributed gift boxes and met with various city employees, emphasizing community support and gratitude.

Break: DRAKE (Drake Realty (Cobb County)



STORY 4:Man Pleads Guilty to 2015 Murders of Marietta Couple

Ronnie Adrian Towns pled guilty to the 2015 murders of Marietta couple Bud and June Runion, who were lured to Telfair County under the pretense of buying a car. Towns, 38, was sentenced to life without parole after initially facing the death penalty. The case, delayed by grand jury issues and the pandemic, saw new evidence emerge in April from magnet fishing in Horse Creek. Telfair County Sheriff Sim Davidson expressed relief at the case's resolution. The Runions, known for their charitable work through Forever Grateful Ministries, were remembered for their community contributions.

STORY 5:State launches website for new school vouchers program

Georgia is preparing for a private-school vouchers program by launching mygeorgiapromise.org, detailing the Georgia Promise Scholarship. This initiative offers up to $6,500 annually for eligible K-12 students in lower-performing schools for private tuition and related expenses. The program, set to launch in July 2025, targets students in the bottom 25% of public schools or rising kindergarteners, with residency requirements. The legislation, passed by Republicans, caps spending at 1% of the state's Quality Basic Education fund and limits eligibility to families earning up to $120,000 annually. Critics argue it diverts funds from public schools and inadequately supports low-income families.

Cobb Travel & Tourism Unveils Latest Tourism Impact in Cobb County

In 2023, Cobb County's tourism industry continued to be a significant economic driver, with a $2.6 billion impact, marking an 8.3% growth from 2022. Local and state tax revenues from tourism rose by 8.6%, totaling $277 million. The sector supported 19,280 jobs, reflecting a 5.8% increase. Without the economic activity generated by tourism, each Cobb County household would face an additional tax burden of $780 annually, a 7.4% rise compared to the previous year. Holly Quinlan, president and CEO of Cobb Travel & Tourism, highlighted the county's distinct attractions and strong partnerships as pivotal to its tourism success, stating, "The hospitality and tourism community in Cobb County, which is made up of unique attractions, venues, and cities, is truly what makes it Atlanta’s sweet spot." These metrics underscore the robust growth and essential role of the tourism industry in Cobb County's economy.

Cobb Travel & Tourism Unveils Latest Tourism Impact in Cobb County

Cobb Schools Super Tells Safety Plan Critics to 'Take a Break'

Cobb County School Superintendent Chris Ragsdale urged critics of the district's safety plan to "take a break" from political rhetoric following the recent election, which maintained a Republican majority on the school board. Ragsdale highlighted the board's continued support for the district's vision and safety measures, including a controversial partnership with a private security firm, Servius Group, to monitor students using military intelligence tactics. This initiative, prompted by recent school shootings, aims to address digital threats and safety concerns. Critics, including state Rep. David Wilkerson, have raised concerns about potential profiling and lack of transparency. Ragsdale defended the plan, emphasizing its necessity for evolving safety strategies and denying allegations of profiling. Despite some board members' calls for more transparency, Ragsdale maintained that disclosing detailed safety measures could compromise student safety. The district continues to invest in various safety technologies and personnel to ensure a secure educational environment.
