Top Stories for January 31st Publish Date: January 31st PRE-ROLL: KIA Mall Of Georgia From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, January 31st and Happy Birthday to Jackie Robinson I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Lanier Islands Resort offering Valentine's Day romantic getaway package Amid walkouts, GCPS affirms students’ right to expression, reminds them to follow rules Scott McCray’s lasting impact on downtown Lawrenceville 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: EAGLE THEATRE STORY 1: Lanier Islands Resort offering Valentine's Day romantic getaway package Lanier Islands Resort—where love stories seem to write themselves. With over a dozen dreamy indoor and outdoor wedding venues, it’s no wonder this lakeside gem has been the backdrop for countless “I do’s.” And this year? Valentine’s Day lands on a Saturday, making it the perfect excuse for a romantic escape. For couples looking to make a weekend of it, the resort’s Valentine’s Romantic Getaway has all the swoon-worthy details: champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, cozy accommodations, a multi-course dinner at Sidney’s overlooking the lake, and breakfast the next morning. Want more? There’s spa treatments, snow fun at Margaritaville, or even a game day at Game Changer. Planning to pop the question? The resort’s wedding consultants can help you nail the moment, from finding the perfect spot to booking a photographer. Love is definitely in the air at Lanier Islands. STORY 2: Amid walkouts, GCPS affirms students’ right to expression, reminds them to follow rules Students across Gwinnett County are walking out of class, protesting immigration enforcement and the fear it’s brought into their schools. The district is trying to balance it all—supporting students’ voices while keeping things safe and orderly. The protests come as frustration grows nationwide over ICE’s actions, including the deaths of two U.S. citizens. Some students say they’re scared to even show up to school. The district reiterated its policy: ICE can’t enter non-public areas of schools without a judge-signed warrant. But fear lingers. Enrollment has dropped by thousands since ICE activity ramped up in 2025, according to the Gwinnett County Association of Educators. For now, GCPS is working with students to keep protests peaceful and on-campus. STORY 3: Scott McCray’s lasting impact on downtown Lawrenceville When Scott McCray first set his sights on expanding his restaurant footprint, downtown Lawrenceville wasn’t exactly buzzing. “It was quiet—really quiet,” he said. “Not much going on, but I saw potential.” That was back in the early 2000s, when the corner spot he wanted—a beat-up old drugstore—wasn’t even available. So, he waited. By 2006, McCray’s Tavern opened on Perry Street, and two decades later, it’s a cornerstone of Lawrenceville’s now-vibrant Square. Today, McCray owns nine restaurants, including Perry Street Chophouse and several McCray’s Taverns across metro Atlanta. But he’s not done yet. “We’ve got another building on the Square,” he teased. “Still figuring out what to do with it, but we’re working on something.” And then there’s St. Patrick’s Day—his annual “Perry Street festival” that shuts down the street, packs the rooftop deck, and unofficially kicks off spring. Reflecting on 20 years in the business, McCray still seems a little surprised. “I didn’t grow up dreaming about restaurants,” he said. “But once I opened my first place, I knew. It’s hard work, but I still love it. Every day.” We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets - GCPS STORY 4: GIVE East's Candice Richardson named GCPS Teacher of the Year Dr. Candice Richardson didn’t take the usual path to teaching. In fact, her journey started far from a classroom—in a doctor’s office in Nassau, Bahamas, where she worked as a physician. But life has a funny way of rerouting us. Fifteen years ago, she moved to the U.S. with her husband and began the long, grueling process of earning her medical license here. To make ends meet, she started substitute teaching. “I thought it’d just be temporary,” she said. “But when I walked into GIVE Center East, something clicked. I knew—this is where I’m supposed to be.” Fast forward to now: Richardson, who’s been teaching biology at GIVE for four years, was just named Gwinnett County Public Schools’ 2027 Teacher of the Year. It’s a rare honor for a teacher at an alternative school, and Richardson doesn’t take it lightly. At GIVE, Richardson works with students who’ve been written off by others. “These kids have been told they’re failures, that one mistake defines them,” she said. “But I believe in second chances. I want them to see they’re worth more than their worst moment.” Richardson’s passion for her students shines through in everything she does, from creating hands-on biology lessons to building relationships that show her students they’re valued. STORY 5: Republican state House leaders unveil plan to abolish homeowner property taxes Georgia Republicans are making a bold promise: no more property taxes for homeowners by 2032. Sounds great, right? But the details? Well, they’re complicated. House Speaker Jon Burns unveiled the plan Wednesday, calling it “historic tax relief” aimed at easing the financial strain on homeowners. Rising home values, he said, have made the current system “unsustainable.” The idea is to gradually phase out property taxes on primary residences, but here’s the catch—local governments rely on that money. A lot of it. Property taxes fund schools, police, fire departments—you name it. So, what happens when that revenue disappears? Burns’ plan would let cities and counties make up the difference by raising sales taxes or adding fees for specific services. But sales taxes are unpredictable, especially during economic downturns, and some areas might struggle to generate enough revenue. And then there’s the political hurdle. To make this happen, lawmakers need a constitutional amendment, which requires two-thirds approval in both chambers and a public vote. Oh, and the Senate? They’re focused on slashing income taxes instead. For now, the House hasn’t released all the details, but one thing’s clear: this proposal is ambitious—and it’s going to spark a lot of debate. We’ll be right back. Break 3: GCPL Passport STORY 6: TenMed Wound Care opening Lawrenceville office TenMed Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine is bringing its expertise to Lawrenceville, opening a new clinic at 696 Grayson Highway. For patients in Gwinnett County dealing with stubborn wounds—diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, or other complex injuries—this is big news. The Lawrenceville location joins TenMed’s existing offices in Atlanta and Johns Creek, expanding access to advanced treatments like Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Dr. Joshua Behlmann, the clinic’s medical director, said he’s excited to serve the community. “Our goal is simple: to provide life-changing care for those who need it most.” From personalized wound care plans to cutting-edge therapies, the clinic is ready to help. For more info, visit tenmedhealth.com or call 470-508-0696. STORY 7: Test-run of outdoor classrooms in Georgia schools clears General Assembly Georgia students might soon trade desks for fresh air, thanks to a new outdoor learning pilot program. On Wednesday, the state Senate gave unanimous approval to a bill that would create outdoor classrooms at select K-8 schools. Next stop? Governor Kemp’s desk. State Sen. Bo Hatchett shared his own experience: “I had an outdoor classroom at North Habersham Middle, and it made a huge difference. Every kid should have that chance.” Sen. Sheikh Rahman added, “Kids are glued to screens. Getting them outside? It’s good for their bodies, their minds—everything.” The program will run for three years before lawmakers decide what’s next. We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: SUGAR HILL ICE SKATING Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty sits down with Dr. Melva Lee, a former Republican candidate for Georgia Superintendent of Schools and Governor Kemp-appointed board member to the Department of Community Health. Dr. Lee is the founder and CEO of a Medical Interpreting Trade School, and her story is one of service, faith, and stepping forward when called, even when the outcome feels uncertain. Dr. Lee brings over 30 years of healthcare experience to the conversation. Ty and Dr. Lee dig into her path from being told by her dad in fifth grade that she'd be a doctor (because of her terrible handwriting) to earning three degrees in healthcare administration. She shares how she spotted a gap in qualified medical interpreters at Grady Health System and built a solution from scratch, training bilingual individuals to become certified professionals. That experience opened her eyes to the power of vocational education and workforce readiness, which became the foundation of her campaign platform. The conversation gets real about Georgia's education crisis. Dr. Lee breaks down the numbers: Georgia dropped to 38th out of 50 states, 70% of fourth graders can't read proficiently, and 76% of eighth graders are failing math. All of this happened under the current superintendent's 11-year tenure. She explains why literacy is the foundation of everything, how Mississippi went from dead last to top 10 by going back to phonics and the basics, and why every high school student should graduate with a trade certification. Ty opens up about his own experience with dyslexia, how he learned to sight read, and why his daughter's auto body classes at a vocational school give him hope for the future. They talk about the reality of running against an incumbent with 11 years of name recognition, the cost of campaigns, and why term limits matter at every level of government. Dr. Lee shares her belief that when you see a problem, you should be part of the solution, not just complain about it. You'll hear about the sobering fact that prisons are built based on third-grade literacy rates, why workforce-ready graduates matter more than ever, and how Dr. Lee planned to expand school choice and bring back the fundamentals that actually work. She also talks about her previous run for state senate, how every race is a learning experience, and why she's committed to fighting for Georgia's kids instead of just coasting on a title. Dr. Lee's work focuses on bridging communication in healthcare and empowering others to lead with purpose. Her professional story is rooted in service, faith, and the conviction to step forward when called. She's built organizations from the ground up and advocates for solutions that put people first, guided by faith, family, and values. If you want to learn more about Dr. Lee's work, visit her website at drnelvalee.com to check out her books and learn about her mission. This episode is a reminder that leadership matters, experience counts, and sometimes the best candidates are the ones who've actually solved problems in the real world.

On this week's live version of Political Breakfast, Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson, Republican strategist Brian Robinson and host Lisa Rayam examine Georgia Governor Brian Kemp's last budget. Kemp laid it all out in his final 'State of the State' address last week, where he also set his priorities at the start of the legislative session. His budget includes a billion in tax rebates for Georgians, a 20-point reduction of the state income tax, a two thousand dollar check for teachers and other state employees and a new need-based scholarship for those attending Georgia colleges and universities. It also includes nearly 2 billion for new toll lanes on I-75 south of Atlanta, to unclog the interstate, and more money for money for new interchanges on Georgia 316 and local road projects.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
How Dr. Nelva Lee is transforming lessons from healthcare innovation into a blueprint for educational equity and systemic changeAs the founder and CEO of a Medical Interpreting Trade School, my focus has always been on expanding access and harnessing technology for the greater good of the community. My work as a Governor Kemp-appointed board member of the Georgia Department of Community Health has given me firsthand insight into public health strategy and digital transformation. Most recently, I've entered the race for Georgia Superintendent of Schools, aiming to champion innovation, equity, and effective communication within education.Most people don't run for an education office after building a healthcare company.Dr. Nelva Lee did—because she saw the same systemic failure in both.I'm Mick, The Doctor of Digital.And this episode is about why access drives everything.At one point, Dr. Lee explains why interpreting language taught her more about power than any policy textbook ever could.Before we talk about education policy or the campaign, I want to start earlier.When you were working as a medical interpreter, what did you see about systems that most people never notice?What's the single biggest misconception voters have about education in Georgia that your healthcare background lets you correct?Your audio journal—what percentage is campaign-focused vs. your broader journey?Post-election, what's the leadership platform you want this book to build?The Origin Story - How medical interpreting revealed systemic barriers that education perpetuatesBuilding While Serving - Running MiTio Healthcare while serving on Ga overnor-appointed healthcare boardThe Campaign Decision - Why an entrepreneur and healthcare policy expert runs for the education officeMulti-Book Author Strategy - How she's approached each book project and what she's learned about thought leadershipThe Audio Journal Process - Turning real-time campaign experience into strategic contentPost-Campaign Vision - Building authority platforms that transcend electoral outcomesDr. Nelva LeeVideos of Dr. Nelva Lee are available on my website:https://www.drnelvalee.com/G.

Diana Martha Louis is an assistant professor of women’s and gender studies at the University of Michigan. In her new book, Louis seeks to reframe some of the historical stories about Black people and mental health in the 19th century. The book is titled “Colored Insane: Slavery, Asylums, and the Politics of Mental Health in the 19th Century.” Combining literary and historical analysis, the book explores the asylum movement, slavery’s impact on the mental health of Black people, and how some historical beliefs about mental health still shape how some in the medical field view Black people’s mental disability in the present day. Plus, the Working Families Party is an independent political organization focusing on making life better for working families. Recently, Fallon McClure, the deputy southeast regional director for WFP, joined a group of state legislators urging Governor Kemp to use the state’s surplus to cover the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Fallon talks with “Closer Look” program host Rose Scott about her overall thoughts on how lawmakers responded to the federal shutdown, how other federal cuts are impacting the lives of families, as well as the recent political shifts happening within growing progressive movements.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Concerns include gaps in the investigation, such as uncollected security footage and unanswered questions about the circumstances of their deaths. The family and NAACP cite historical distrust between the Black community and law enforcement, drawing parallels to past cases like Ahmaud Arbery. They are urging Governor Kemp to order a transparent, independent review to uncover the full truth.

Her family eventually regained stability, buying a home through the program’s support. Years later, Potra’s perspective shifted, recognizing Family Promise’s role in helping families rebuild.

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has announced that he will not run for Senate.

This Week in Pharmacy -- we have a special news correspondence from RxMile CEO Kunal Vyas with the dire importance of eliminating wasteful actions and carelessness of MailOrder Pharmacies and the safety concerns of medications being stolen or sitting in 150' degree heat. Special Interview with Joe Ed Holt --on all podcast directories! On May 8, Ed posted a sharp criticism of Governor Kemp's veto of SB 198, a bill with broad bipartisan support that would help Georgia's independent pharmacies. As then-President of the Georgia Pharmacy Association, Ed heard from many independents that if this bill didn't pass it could mean the death of their stores. As the representative of GPHA, Ed felt it was his duty to make a statement. Later that evening, Ed's employer, PruittHealth, contacted him and asked me to take it down. He complied immediately. On May 9, PruittHealth told Ed the post jeopardized their relationship with the Governor, and then they fired him. After 17 years of loyal service with not a single negative evaluation, Ed was terminated with no notice and with no severance. Ed has spent the last 7 weeks trying to get some sort of compensation for his time at the company. But PruittHealth has flatly refused stating that they violated their social media policy. This short-term decision is not good for the Pharmacy owners in Georgia nor the citizens of the state who need their Independent Pharmacies to pick up where retail chain giants are closing stores. Next part on TWIRx, the NCPA Foundation's new Executive Director --Sonja Pagniano, CFRE share their mission is to improve community-based healthcare access by supporting efforts that promote the sustainability and growth of independent community pharmacists, the most accessible healthcare provider, through scholarships, grants, and ownership development.
