From the Ingles Studio this is your news minute on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Today is Friday, November 1st and I'm Keith Ippolito.

Candidate for Chief Deputy Sheriff Misused Force, Documents Show

Documents released by the Cobb County Democratic Committee reveal that Michael Dondelinger, a candidate for Chief Deputy Sheriff, was investigated multiple times for misuse of force during his tenure as a sergeant in the Cobb Sheriff’s Office. Incidents include authorizing force as punishment, striking an inmate, and drawing a gun on civilians. Despite these past issues, Republican candidate David Cavender, who selected Dondelinger as his chief deputy, defends him, citing the incidents as nearly two decades old and asserting that Dondelinger has since learned his lesson. The revelations have intensified the sheriff race, with accusations exchanged between Cavender and Democratic Sheriff Craig Owens. Cavender argues that Owens was aware of Dondelinger's past when promoting him to captain, while Owens criticizes the timing of these disclosures. The race has become contentious, with both sides leveraging past incidents to sway voters ahead of the election.

From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.  



Today is Thursday, October 31st and Happy Birthday to John Candy 

***10.31.24 - BIRTHDAY – JOHN CANDY*** 

I’m Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia.  


Police Close Part of Powers Ferry Road to Investigate Wreck 


Challenger Takes Fundraising Lead over Superior Court Clerk 


East Cobb, Acworth Voters Receive Incorrect Election Mailers

All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  



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

STORY 1:  Police Close Part of Powers Ferry Road to Investigate Wreck

In Marietta, Cobb police closed a section of Powers Ferry Road near the Augusta Commons apartment complex on Wednesday evening to investigate a car wreck that left a vehicle in a ditch. Officers at the scene labeled it a crime scene but provided no further details. Officer S.A. Barner, the Cobb Police Department spokesperson, stated that the STEP unit is investigating the serious collision and promised a press release with more information as it becomes available. Stay tuned for updates. 

STORY 2:  Challenger Takes Fundraising Lead over Superior Court Clerk

In the Cobb County Superior Clerk race, Republican Deborah Dance has overtaken Democratic incumbent Connie Taylor in fundraising. Initially trailing, Dance's donations surged to over $51,000 since July, while Taylor's remained stagnant at $21,175. Taylor's campaign has faced scrutiny due to controversies, including a judicial emergency in her office and allegations of mishandling passport fees. Dance's support includes significant contributions from local law firms and judges. Despite Taylor's initial lead, her performance has drawn criticism from both parties, with some Democrats endorsing Dance for her administrative capabilities. The election is set for next week. 



STORY 3:  East Cobb, Acworth Voters Receive Incorrect Election Mailers

Cobb County voters in two precincts received mailers with incorrect voting locations. Affected areas include Acworth 1C and Roswell 02. Acworth 1C voters should go to the North Cobb Senior Center, while Roswell 02 voters should head to Mt. Zion Methodist Church. Voters must use their assigned polling place on Election Day, but can vote at any location during early voting, which ends Friday. Cobb Elections Director Tate Fall stated the error is being corrected and urged voters to verify their polling place online. Poll workers will assist voters at incorrect locations on November 5.

Break: DRAKE (Drake Realty (Cobb County) 

STORY 4:  Testing Cobb County's Uber-like Transit Program

Cobb County voters will soon decide on a proposed 1% sales tax increase to fund public transportation, including a countywide microtransit system. CobbLinc launched a pilot microtransit program in south Cobb, offering on-demand, affordable rides similar to Uber but subsidized. The pilot aims to provide transit access to less dense areas, with $2 billion of the $11 billion transit tax allocated for microtransit. The service, CobbLinc Go, is praised for its convenience and low cost, but questions remain about its long-term feasibility and integration with other transit options. The tax also includes plans for rapid bus routes and new transit centers. 

STORY 5:  Cupid Discusses Nondiscrimination Ordinance at LGBT Forum

Cobb Chairwoman Lisa Cupid discussed potential policy changes, including a countywide nondiscrimination ordinance, at an LGBTQ+ forum. Building on a previous meeting, Cupid suggested initiatives like recognizing Pride Month and increasing LGBTQ+ representation in board appointments. Community members were encouraged to engage with commissioners and support inclusive policies. The forum highlighted Cobb's past anti-LGBTQ+ stance and the need for local nondiscrimination laws, as federal protections are limited. Cupid acknowledged challenges in policy implementation and public support but emphasized the importance of pursuing inclusivity. The forum also addressed the potential impact of upcoming elections on these initiatives. 



We’ll be back in a moment

Transit Tax Continues to Stump Some Early Voters

Cobb County voters face a significant decision on a proposed transit tax, the M-SPLOST, in the upcoming election. Many voters, like first-time voter Kamari Crenshaw, were surprised to find the referendum on the ballot, feeling unprepared to make an informed decision. Marietta residents expressed confusion and concern over the tax, with some, like Derrick Harvey, unaware of its existence despite staying informed on local news. New resident Kelsey George made efforts to understand the local elections by consulting the county's sample ballot and discussing with coworkers. Voter turnout has been strong, with over 232,000 ballots cast in Cobb County and a statewide turnout exceeding previous years. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger highlighted the ease of voting due to increased Early Voting days and infrastructure improvements. The advanced voting period ends Friday, with resources available for voters seeking more information.
