Billboards and mailers are saying to vote Democrat to lower the bill. One problem: The PSC has 5 members, and only 2 seats are up. So even if both Dems win today the panel remains GOP controlled. New voices? Yes. Lower bill? No.

The case first went to the state appeals court, then was transferred to the Georgia Supreme Court when the appeal was deemed a constitutional challenge. The justices disagreed, sending it back to the appeals court. Those judges ruled without hearing arguments.

A neighbor and aspiring right-leaning politician, David Tootle, filed the suit after the renaming in early 2024. Chatham Superior Court dismissed the suit, ruling the city had the authority to change the name in summer 2024, and Tootle appealed.

The optimistic mortality report extended to calves. All 11 survived birth and their first few months of life. By contrast, 25% of those born during the 2024 season died. Be on the lookout for mothers and calves in December with the start of new calving season.
