In Split Vote, Cobb Denies Student Housing Tower

The Cobb Board of Commissioners voted 3-2 to deny Landmark Properties' proposal for a five-story student housing building near Kennesaw State University. The project, named The Standard, was to include 191 units and 643 bedrooms. Despite reducing the number of beds from 761 to 643 to address density concerns, the proposal faced opposition due to potential impacts on traffic, property values, and increased density. Chair Lisa Cupid and Commissioner Monique Sheffield opposed the denial, citing the need for student housing and the university's contribution to the community. Concerns were raised about the lack of student and parent voices in discussions, and the potential for increased crime was debated. The project was seen as a solution to the housing shortage for students, but ultimately, the board decided the location was unsuitable. Commissioner Jerica Richardson led the motion to deny, emphasizing unresolved issues related to property value and traffic.

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.

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 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.

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

STORY 1:Marietta Legislator's DUI Case Delayed, Again

The DUI case against state Rep. Devan Seabaugh has been postponed for the fourth time, with a new pre-trial hearing set for November 22. Seabaugh, who was absent from the recent hearing, faces seven charges, including DUI, following an August incident where he allegedly hit a cyclist. His attorney requested the delay to gather more evidence. Seabaugh denies being intoxicated, claiming he was unaware of the bike lane due to inadequate signage. The cyclist involved suffered minor injuries and was unsure if he was struck by Seabaugh's vehicle.

STORY 2:Marietta Super Proposes Weapons Detectors For Schools

Marietta City Schools plans to implement weapons detectors in grades six through 12 following recent incidents involving firearms. Superintendent Grant Rivera proposed using pass-through detectors and AI weapons detection integrated with existing cameras. The initiative aims to enhance safety without disrupting school routines. The district is interviewing vendors and plans to operationalize the system soon. Additionally, the district will hire a second school resource officer and transition part-time officers to full-time roles. Safety measures include secured access, visitor screening, and an emergency alert app, with ongoing community engagement to ensure effective implementation.



STORY 3:Cobb Commission Special Election Set for April

A special election for two Cobb County Board of Commissioners seats is set for April 29, following a court ruling that invalidated previous elections due to an unconstitutional "home rule" map. The election will fill District 2 and District 4 seats, with candidates like Alicia Adams and Jaha Howard running for District 2. Incumbent Monique Sheffield will run for District 4. Voters in these districts, as defined by the 2022 state map, are eligible to vote. Qualifying runs from December 18-20, with primaries on February 11 and early voting starting January 21. The general election early voting begins April 7.

STORY 5:KSU and Wellstar Double Nursing Student Enrollment

Kennesaw State University (KSU) and Wellstar Health System have doubled the enrollment at KSU's Wellstar School of Nursing over the past four years to address Georgia's nursing shortage.

This partnership enhances educational opportunities and supports Georgia's healthcare needs. Wellstar also provides scholarships and tuition reimbursement, further aiding students.

The DUI case against state Rep. Devan Seabaugh has been postponed for the fourth time, with a new pre-trial hearing set for November 22. Seabaugh, who was absent from the recent hearing, faces seven charges, including DUI, following an August incident where he allegedly hit a cyclist. His attorney requested the delay to gather more evidence. Seabaugh denies being intoxicated, claiming he was unaware of the bike lane due to inadequate signage. The cyclist involved suffered minor injuries and was unsure if he was struck by Seabaugh's vehicle.
STORY 2:  <a href="https://www.mdjonline.com/news/education/marietta-super-proposes-weapons-detectors-for-schools/article_6502183e-a1eb-11ef-a04e-73a614d36f17.html">Marietta Super Proposes Weapons Detectors For Schools</a>
Marietta City Schools plans to implement weapons detectors in grades six through 12 following recent incidents involving firearms. Superintendent Grant Rivera proposed using pass-through detectors and AI weapons detection integrated with existing cameras. The initiative aims to enhance safety without disrupting school routines. The district is interviewing vendors and plans to operationalize the system soon. Additionally, the district will hire a second school resource officer and transition part-time officers to full-time roles. Safety measures include secured access, visitor screening, and an emergency alert app, with ongoing community engagement to ensure effective implementation.
 
STORY 3:  <a href="https://www.mdjonline.com/elections/cobb-commission-special-election-set-for-april/article_81b878fc-a1d1-11ef-b897-7f52396a28c9.html">Cobb Commission Special Election Set for April</a>
A special election for two Cobb County Board of Commissioners seats is set for April 29, following a court ruling that invalidated previous elections due to an unconstitutional "home rule" map. The election will fill District 2 and District 4 seats, with candidates like Alicia Adams and Jaha Howard running for District 2. Incumbent Monique Sheffield will run for District 4. Voters in these districts, as defined by the 2022 state map, are eligible to vote. Qualifying runs from December 18-20, with primaries on February 11 and early voting starting January 21. The general election early voting begins April 7.

Why Did Cobb’s Transit Tax Go Down in Flames?

Cobb County's proposed transit tax was decisively rejected by voters, with 62% voting against it. The tax aimed to fund extensive transit projects, including rapid bus routes and transit centers, but faced opposition due to its 30-year duration and $11 billion scope. Many voters were unaware of the proposal, and key business leaders and mayors did not support it. The tax's defeat was attributed to economic concerns, distrust in government projects, and a preference for car travel. Despite Cobb's shift towards Democratic leadership, the tax failed, reflecting longstanding resistance to transit initiatives. Critics cited the lack of rail funding and questioned the necessity of the projects. The campaign struggled to gain traction amid a crowded election landscape, and opposition groups effectively mobilized against it. The outcome highlights Cobb's conservative fiscal stance and skepticism towards large-scale government spending.
