GDP Script/ Top Stories for June 26th          Publish Date:  June 26th           From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Wednesday, June 26th and Happy heavenly Birthday to NBA HOF Willis Reed. ***06.26.24 – BIRTHDAY – WILLIS REED*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Mystery Snails Are Invading Lake Lanier and State Officials Say They've Got to Go Gwinnett Schools Budget Includes Higher Raises for Employees Clydesdales Appearance in Gwinnett Promises to Be Second to None Plus, my conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on Laura Lynn products. All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: MOG   STORY 1: Mystery Snails Are Invading Lake Lanier and State Officials Say They've Got to Go Lake Lanier is facing an invasive species challenge with the emergence of the Chinese/Japanese Mystery Snail. Georgia Department of Natural Resources officials are concerned about this snail's presence, confirmed to be a reproducing population rather than an isolated case. The origin of these snails in Lake Lanier remains uncertain, but possibilities include their sale in food markets and ownership as pets, despite recent regulations against possessing them in Georgia. These snails pose ecological threats by displacing native species and economic risks by damaging boats and equipment, potentially hindering water access. DNR urges the public, especially anglers and boaters, to prevent further spread by ensuring boats and equipment are clean and by not releasing non-native species into Georgia's waters. STORY 2: Gwinnett Schools Budget Includes Higher Raises for Employees Gwinnett County Public Schools recently approved a $3.2 billion budget for fiscal year 2025, which includes substantial increases in teacher salaries beyond initial expectations. Originally slated for a $3,000 raise, teachers will now receive $4,000, reflecting additional state funding and community feedback. The budget also boosts the cost-of-living adjustment for other employees from 4% to 4.25%. This $32 million in new funding also supports initiatives like more instructional coaches, SAT For All program funding, graduation coaches, and enhanced resources for multilingual and ESOL programs. Additionally, the district plans a slight reduction in its property tax millage rate, pending public input at hearings scheduled for July. STORY 3: Clydesdales Appearance in Gwinnett Promises to Be Second To None The Budweiser Clydesdales, symbols of American tradition, will be in Norcross on July 5th. Their visit supports Folds of Honor, a charity providing educational scholarships to families of fallen service members. The majestic horses will be at B&W Burgers, Buns & Brews from 5-7 PM, with proceeds from Budweiser patriotic packaging sales benefiting the cause.

Out of over 50,000 applicants nationwide, Vasquez was selected as one of 750 Gates Scholars.

Vasquez plans to study international affairs with aspirations of becoming an immigration attorney, inspired by his family's experiences with immigration. Beyond the Gates Scholarship, Vasquez has received numerous other honors and scholarships, reflecting his academic and extracurricular achievements in wrestling and community service. STORY 5: Georgia Power expands Income-Qualified Discount Georgia Power has expanded its "Income-Qualified Senior Discount" program to include more customers with limited incomes, effective since May 1 following approval by the Georgia Public Service Commission in December 2023. The program now benefits thousands more annually, offering a $33.50 monthly bill discount.

On today's Closer Look with Rose Scott, the Georgia Public Service Commission voted 4-1 to give Georgia Power the ability to expand a power plant and buy more electricity from other utilities. This will enable the utility to provide power to an influx of businesses in the state. WABE climate reporter Emily Jones recaps the hearings and explains whether customers can expect to see any savings on their rising Georgia Power bills. Also, in the latest feature from WABE's Young Business Series, Reporter Julien Virgin shares the work of Hero Roofing CEO Nick Branon. The young entrepreneur in Newnan, Georgia discusses his journey through the multi-billion-dollar roofing industry and why roof repairs are his favorite part of the home improvement process. Plus, we revisit our interview with Temple University Associate Professor and former journalist Andrea Wenzel. She recently published her book, "Antiracist Journalism: The Challenge of Creating Equitable Local News." Wenzel shares her research about how communities of color believe they've been misrepresented by local news teams and highlights changes news organizations can make for fairer reporting.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Georgia Power and state regulators reached a tentative agreement last week to expand Georgia Power's fossil fuel infrastructure and increase the company's battery storage footprint. The agreement still needs approval from the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC). WABE climate reporter Emily Jones discusses her recent article that dives into the agreement and explains why some consumer and environmental advocates and customers have concerns. Jones also discusses why PSC elections won't be held this year and a lawsuit challenging the system the state uses to elect commissioners. INSERT: The Sandersville Railroad company has been working to acquire portions of land in the city of Sparta in Hancock County, through eminent domain to construct a 4.5-mile rail spur to serve a nearby quarry. A hearing officer with the Georgia Public Service Commission ruled in favor of the railroad company. We revisit Rose's conversation with Janet and Mark Smith and Ben Tarbutton, the president of Sandersville Railroad. Plus, New York Times bestselling author Tiffany Jewell discusses her new book, "Everything I Learned about Racism I Learned in School." In the book, the longtime educator explores the inequities Black and Brown students face from preschool through college.

Want a monkeypox vaccine? In Atlanta? You better be quick (and your WiFi better be, too). Actually, since we're on the subject, you'd better just sit there, not blink, and anticipate the appoint times going live. Because if you hesitate a millisecond, you ain't gettin' that shot. Matter of fact, there are 240 appointments for *how* many millions of folks?; On again. Off again. On again. Off... now are we talking about my relationship or whether the Georgia Public Service Commission race will be on November's ballot? ; and lots of folks want one of them fancy new Rivian EVs. Problem is, they still can't find the parts to make enough of them. Guess that means another year on MARTA.

An energy activist highlights the opportunities, and challenges on the way to clean and equitable energy in the United States. --- The energy transition that is now underway in the United States holds the promise of delivering carbon free energy by the middle of this century. Yet often overlooked is a second critical opportunity to ensure that our future energy system delivers benefits, and shares burdens, much more equitably than has been true to date.  Chandra Farley, chair of the Atlanta NAACP Environmental and Climate Justice Committee, discusses the disproportionate environmental, social and economic burdens of our fossil energy system that have fallen on communities of color and the economically disadvantaged, and efforts to ensure that the benefits and costs of clean energy are equitably shared. Chandra Farley is Chief Executive of ReSolve, a consultancy that works to strengthen the organizational foundations of grassroots advocacy, and founder of the Good Energy Project, which engages Black women in the effort to expand clean energy. She is running for a seat as a commissioner with the Georgia Public Service Commission.

When coal-fired power plants burn coal, what's left over is a toxic ash mixed with water that gets stored in ash ponds. They look pretty much like you'd imagine – huge, contained pools of slurry and particulates – and environmentalists worry about their potential effects on the ecosystem and drinking water. Georgia Power is on track to quit adding to its ash ponds by sometime next year. That's a mandate in the Integrated Resources Plan the Georgia Public Service Commission approved this summer.
