Today is Tuesday, July 8th and Happy Birthday to Ringo Star I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia Matt Olson, Chris Sale Join Ronald Acuna Jr. as Braves All-Stars Gwinnett installing roundabout near Jackson Elementary Gwinnett's congressional representatives weigh in on passage of the 'Big, Beautiful Bill' 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 and subscribe! Break 1: Kia MOG STORY 1: Matt Olson, Chris Sale Join Ronald Acuna Jr. as Braves All-Stars The Atlanta Braves will have three players—Ronald Acuña Jr., Matt Olson, and Chris Sale—representing the team at the MLB All-Star Game on July 15 at Truist Park, marking Atlanta’s first time hosting since 2000. Acuña, a five-time All-Star, will also compete in the Home Run Derby, while Olson, a local standout, earned his third All-Star nod. Sale, a nine-time All-Star, won’t pitch due to injury but was recognized for his stellar season. The event brings excitement to a struggling Braves team, currently 39-50, and offers a special homecoming for Olson and Acuña. STORY 2: Gwinnett installing roundabout near Jackson Elementary Gwinnett County has begun a $1.65 million intersection improvement project near Jackson Elementary School at Sever Road and Tab Roberts Road in Lawrenceville. The project, expected to last until early 2027, includes installing a roundabout to enhance traffic flow and safety, along with new sidewalks, drainage, street lighting, and curb improvements. Funded by the 2023 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax, the work is being carried out by Backbone Infrastructure LLC, approved by county commissioners in March. STORY 3: Gwinnett's congressional representatives weigh in on passage of the 'Big, Beautiful Bill' Gwinnett County’s congressional representatives are divided over President Trump’s "One Big Beautiful Bill," which narrowly passed the House 218-214. Republicans Mike Collins and Andrew Clyde praised the bill, highlighting its tax cuts, debt ceiling raise, and support for Trump’s agenda. However, Democrats David Scott and Hank Johnson criticized it as harmful, citing Medicaid cuts, reduced food stamp benefits, and risks to rural hospitals. State Rep. Jasmine Clark, running for Congress, also condemned the bill, warning it would hurt south Gwinnett residents by stripping health insurance and food assistance. The bill has sparked sharp partisan debate over its impact on Americans. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info.

To celebrate its 13th anniversary and national honor, Crave Pie is hosting Customer Appreciation Days on July 9-10, offering free mini pies, double loyalty points, discounts for supporting local businesses, and Instagram giveaways. The shop invites the community to join in celebrating its success.
