Charged with felony and malice murder and aggravated assault, Hill was linked to the NYC case after sharing undisclosed details about a homicide. Following a joint investigation with NYPD, Hill was arrested at his home on March 21 and is now in Gwinnett County Jail. STORY 3: Lawmakers decide to ban cellphones in public elementary and middle schools Starting next fall, Georgia elementary and middle school students will be banned from using personal cellphones during school hours under the “Distraction-Free Education Act,” which passed the General Assembly with bipartisan support. Schools must provide ways for parents to contact children via the principal’s office, with exemptions for medical or disability-related needs. The ban, effective fully by July 2026, aims to reduce classroom distractions and improve student well-being, echoing global concerns about technology’s impact on children. While some suggest extending the ban to high schools, the current focus is on younger students. Gov. Brian Kemp will decide whether to sign the bill.

Cleve addresses a listener question from George and Mary in Norcross about the role of floor plans in online home searches. Do Some Homeowners Plan to Never Sell? According to a recent HousingWire.com article, many homeowners are holding onto their properties indefinitely, despite changing market conditions.

It's been eight months since the New Jersey State Attorney General indicted George Norcross on racketeering, extortion and political corruption charges. The 111-page indictment alleged that Norcross and his brother Phil ran a criminal enterprise that used political power to force individuals to give up their development rights on the Camden waterfront. But that case has hit a roadblock.

Mayoral candidates are slamming Mayor Adams for skipping out of a scheduled forum. Plus, thousands of special license plates from the taxi and limousine commission allow drivers to avoid the MTA's congestion pricing toll. And finally, a judge has dismissed all charges against George Norcross, the south New Jersey political boss who was accused of running a criminal enterprise.

A judge has dismissed racketeering charges against South Jersey political power broker George Norcross, ruling that his actions in Camden waterfront development negotiations were not criminal. Meanwhile, marine biologists say an invasive sea anemone from England, described as looking like “a squishy blob of green snot,” has made its way to the shores of New Jersey. Plus, Attorney General Matt Platkin has issued new guidance for police when it comes to their interactions with individuals who have autism and others with communication disorders.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for February 20th Publish Date: February 20th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, February 20th and Happy birthday to I’m Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett government opts out of statewide homestead exemption Investigators seize 23 kilograms of meth during raids in Gwinnett Jackson EMC Foundation awards $80K to agencies serving Gwinnett County residents Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on seed oil 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: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Gwinnett government opts out of statewide homestead exemption Gwinnett County commissioners unanimously opted out of a new statewide floating homestead exemption tied to inflation, arguing their existing Value Offset Exemption (VOE) offers better savings. The VOE freezes taxable property values at the level when a homeowner first claimed the exemption, unlike the statewide version, which adjusts annually for inflation. County officials highlighted that the VOE has kept county taxes stable despite rising property values. The school system, which accounts for two-thirds of property tax bills, will hold hearings Thursday to decide whether to opt out as well. Residents can attend at 11 a.m. or 6 p.m. in Suwanee. STORY 2: Investigators seize 23 kilograms of meth during raids in Gwinnett Six people, including a mother and daughter, were arrested during raids on two methamphetamine operations in Gwinnett County on Feb. 12. The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office, working with the Gwinnett Metro Task Force and FBI Atlanta, seized 23 kilograms of methamphetamine and over $6,000 in cash from locations in Lilburn and Norcross. Charges ranged from trafficking methamphetamine to possession and obstruction of law enforcement. The Sheriff’s Office praised the collaborative efforts to enhance community safety. STORY 3: Jackson EMC Foundation awards $80K to agencies serving Gwinnett County residents The Jackson EMC Foundation awarded $99,890 in grants, with $80,000 benefiting Gwinnett County organizations. Recipients include Hebron Community Health Center and Hope Clinic for medical and mental health services, The Salvation Army for housing assistance, and Home Repairs Ministries for critical home repairs. Other grants supported virtual healthcare access, therapy for abuse survivors, and literacy promotion. Funded by the Operation Round Up program, which rounds members' electric bills to the nearest dollar, the initiative has provided over $21.5 million in community grants since 2005. Applications for grants are open to individuals and organizations in Jackson EMC’s 10-county service area. 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: RINGLING BROS_FINAL STORY 4: Georgia Supreme Court raises concerns about 2019 child custody law The Georgia Supreme Court raised concerns about the 2019 Equitable Caregiver law, which allows non-legal parents to seek custody or visitation if they’ve had a parental role and bond with a child. In the case of *Dias v. Boone*, the court reversed a lower court's decision granting Abby Boone caregiver status over Michelle Dias’s child, ruling the law didn’t apply since Boone’s relationship with the child predated the law. While the justices questioned the law’s impact on parental rights, they did not strike it down, instead issuing a narrow ruling specific to this case. STORY 5: Gwinnett Technical College Names New Vice President of Economic Development Gwinnett Technical College has named Lauren Dodson as its new Vice President of Economic Development. With over 15 years of experience in sciences and education, Dodson will oversee economic development, customized training, Quick Start, and continuing education services to address workforce needs. Her background includes roles at Partnership Gwinnett, Georgia EMC, and the Technology Association of Georgia, as well as teaching science in Gwinnett County Public Schools. Gwinnett Tech President Dr. D. Glen Cannon praised her contributions to the community and technology sector, calling her a perfect fit for the role. Dodson holds advanced degrees in education and lives in Tucker with her family.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for February 8th Publish Date: February 8th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, February 8th and Happy Birthday to dave Farrell ***02.08.25 - BIRTHDAY – DAVE FARRELL*** I’m Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Suwanee Police Release Images Of Vehicle Involved In Fatal Hit-And-Run Parkview student brought unloaded gun to school Legislation invites lawsuits against cities and schools that ignore immigration law 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: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Suwanee Police Release Images Of Vehicle Involved In Fatal Hit-And-Run Suwanee Police are investigating a hit-and-run that killed 60-year-old David Wayne Anglin on Old Peachtree Road last month. Security footage shows a dark-colored sedan with dark rims speeding near the scene, now identified as a vehicle of interest. Police have released images and are seeking public help to identify the car and its occupants. Anyone with information or dash cam footage is urged to contact the investigating detective at 770-904-7650. STORY 2: Parkview student brought unloaded gun to school A Parkview High student was arrested Thursday for bringing an unloaded gun to school, discovered after a classmate reported it. Administrators quickly located the student and found the firearm in their book bag. Principal David Smith assured parents that no threats or harm occurred but emphasized the seriousness of the incident, which violates school policy and the law. Officials urge parents to discuss the dangers of bringing weapons to school and encourage students to report concerns via text, the "GCPS Tips" app, or P3Campus.com/5105. Smith praised the community for prioritizing safety and vigilance. STORY 3: Legislation invites lawsuits against cities and schools that ignore immigration law The Georgia Senate Public Safety Committee advanced Senate Bill 21, which would allow lawsuits against school districts and governing bodies that violate state laws requiring cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. The bill targets "sanctuary city" policies and mandates compliance with federal immigration detainer requests. Critics, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations, warn it could lead to lawsuits against teachers, while the Georgia School Boards Association raised concerns about accusations triggering legal action. Supporters argue the bill enforces accountability by waiving sovereign immunity for noncompliance, potentially imposing financial penalties on violators.

We’ll be right back Break 2: 08.05.24 OBITS_FINAL STORY 4: Raffensperger looking to feds to withdraw election lawsuit Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is urging the U.S. Attorney General to drop a federal lawsuit challenging Georgia's 2021 election reform law, Senate Bill 202. The law requires photo ID for absentee voting, limits ballot drop boxes, and restricts distributing food and drinks near polling lines. Democrats opposed the bill, leading to economic boycotts, including MLB relocating its 2021 All-Star game. Raffensperger called the lawsuit "frivolous," citing polls showing 98-99% of voters reported no issues voting in recent elections. He also accused the Biden administration of political motives in pursuing the case. STORY 5: Gwinnett/Walton Habitat for Humanity Receives $125K Grant from Publix Super Markets Charities Gwinnett/Walton Habitat for Humanity received a $125,000 grant from Publix Super Markets Charities to support building one of 11 homes planned for 2025.

Carter, who starred in football and basketball at Norcross, expressed gratitude for the recognition and emphasized giving back to inspire future generations.

Knowing that relapse is common and even a part of the change process helps you move forward." - Ana Melikian, Ph.D. In this episode, the host, Ana Melikian, delves into the complexities of learning and change, especially how we can learn from our mistakes and missteps. Ana highlights an error she made on the show regarding the stages of change as conceptualized by psychologists Prochaska, Norcross, and DiClemente, and uses it as a teaching moment to underline the importance of embracing imperfection. Ana revisits the six stages of change: pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and recycling (learning from relapse), clarifying the sixth stage. She emphasizes that relapse is a natural part of change and can be a powerful learning opportunity. Through personal anecdotes and references to past episodes, Ana encourages listeners to build resilience to failure. She discusses the importance of seeing relapse as an inevitable part of the journey towards lasting change and urges everyone to keep pushing forward despite setbacks. Ana concludes with a call to action for listeners to reflect on how these concepts can be applied in their lives to foster personal growth and positive transformation. Let's dive in!

The city will purchase the 103-year-old Norcross Woman's Club building for $450,000, ensuring its preservation within a historic district. This resolves a dispute that began when the city considered condemning the building. The Trust, which received the building as a donation, aimed to preserve its architectural features. The city plans to invest $230,000 in rehabilitation by 2025. The building, a Carnegie-style Greek Revival structure, will be overseen by the Norcross Historic Preservation Committee. STORY 2: Woman Accused Of Stealing More Than $600K By Submitting Fake Invoices At Her Job The Gwinnett County Police Department has issued warrants for Melissa Dowd, 58, of Monroe, for stealing over $656,000 from her employer, WideData Corporation. Dowd, now in Gwinnett County Jail, is charged with computer theft, forgery, and theft by taking. She allegedly submitted false invoices and altered checks to list herself as the payee, committing these acts over 190 times. Additionally, she doubled her salary by manipulating payroll software and altered her W-2 to evade taxes. The investigation continues, and tips can be reported to the police or Crime Stoppers for a potential cash reward.

The moratorium, imposed in 2012 due to drought, was partially eased last year. Extensive research and improved water tracking technology have informed the decision to lift the ban.

Will we have a white Christmas? The last "white Christmas" in Georgia was in 2010, with snowfall from 1-3 inches in metro Atlanta to 8 inches in the north Georgia mountains, marking the first measurable Christmas Day snow since 1881. This year, sub-freezing temperatures are expected in north Georgia leading up to Christmas, but dry conditions are likely to persist until Christmas Eve or Day, making a snowy holiday unlikely.

Witherspoon, a former point guard for Berkmar's first state championship team, was hired in late summer. Principal Durrant Williams emphasized the hire as a "family" decision, valuing Witherspoon's deep ties to the school. Witherspoon, who previously coached at Walnut Grove, is excited to return and aims to re-engage alumni and instill a winning culture in a young team. His staff includes former assistants and his brother, Wesley. The community is eager to support Witherspoon's vision for the program.

Ingram received 40.65% of the vote, while Sims got 33.97%. Incoming council members Tim Sullivan, Michael Coker, Kyle Shields, and Michael Rudnick won decisively, with Sullivan, Coker, and Rudnick securing over 70% of the votes in their respective districts.

STORY 5:  Charitable giving part of end-of-year tax decisions As 2024 ends, many consider donating to charities for tax benefits. Dr. Benjamin Akins from Georgia Gwinnett College explains that while most people use the standard IRS deduction, itemizers can benefit more by donating, especially if their income rises due to bonuses or required minimum distributions from retirement accounts. Donor-advised funds (DAFs) offer a flexible way to donate and claim deductions. Donating appreciated stocks or property can also provide tax advantages.

Today is Wednesday, October 23rd and Happy Birthday to Weird Al Yankovic ***10.23.24 – BIRTHDAY – WEIRD AL YANKOVIC*** I'm Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. 1.       Norcross Grad Alvin Kamara Signs 2-year, $24.5M Extension with Saints 2.       Gwinnett Schools Scales Back on Clear Book Bag Rule.

Break 1: KIA MOG (07.14.22 KIA MOG)   STORY 1:  Norcross Grad Alvin Kamara Signs 2-year, $24.5M Extension with Saints Alvin Kamara, a Norcross graduate, is staying with the New Orleans Saints after signing a two-year, $24.5 million contract extension, keeping him with the team through 2026. Despite rumors of a trade, Kamara denied wanting to leave. The extension helps the Saints save about $18 million against the salary cap in 2025. Kamara, who has been with the Saints since being drafted in 2017, has had a successful career, including being named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and making five Pro Bowls. This season, he has 438 rushing yards, six touchdowns, and 34 receptions for 252 yards. STORY 2:  Gwinnett Schools Scales Back on Clear Book Bag Rule. Here's Why Gwinnett County Public Schools is facing criticism for purchasing clear book bags for students before gathering feedback from parents on a proposed requirement for their use. Initially planned for all schools, the policy is now a pilot program at select schools. Critics, like Steve Smith, argue the district moved forward with a $1.3 million purchase before the survey was completed. The clear bags are a response to a recent school shooting, but opinions are divided: 50.7% of parents oppose the bags, while 87% of students are against them. Despite mixed feedback, the district will proceed with the pilot program, emphasizing safety concerns. STORY 3: Gwinnett Tech's Nursing Program Receives National Accreditation Gwinnett Technical College's Associate Degree Nursing program has received accreditation from the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) through 2032. This accreditation confirms the program's adherence to rigorous standards, ensuring graduates are well-prepared for the workforce. It enhances the college's reputation and strengthens ties with healthcare industry leaders, assuring employers of the graduates' readiness and skills. The ACEN accreditation process involves a thorough evaluation, including a self-study report and on-site peer review. This recognition underscores Gwinnett Tech's commitment to providing quality nursing education aligned with industry needs. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

This rebate aims to aid Georgians, especially those impacted by Hurricane Helene, amidst ongoing high prices. Kemp also recently suspended the state sales tax on gasoline following the hurricane. The rebate offers $250 for single filers, $375 for heads of households, and $500 for joint filers. Kemp emphasized using the state's budget surplus for taxpayer relief rather than expanding government programs. STORY 5:   Gateway85 CID Celebrates Safety Enhancing Sidewalk Project  Officials from the Gateway85 Community Improvement District and Gwinnett County celebrated the completion of the Oakbrook Parkway sidewalk project, enhancing pedestrian safety and connectivity. This 1.5-mile sidewalk between Jimmy Carter Blvd. and Indian Trail Lilburn Rd. improves access in a busy business area.

He explains how the credit industry often preys on young adults, offering credit cards with no education on their long-term impacts, highlighting the importance of understanding the system before diving in. We also discussed the critical difference between credit bureaus, which collect your financial data, and scoring agencies like FICO, which calculate your credit score. Understanding this distinction is crucial for managing your credit effectively.   Devin introduced us to VantageScore, an emerging alternative to FICO. While it's not yet widely adopted, it's something to watch as it could play a bigger role in the future. One of the more surprising insights was how paying off old collections can sometimes lower your credit score—underscoring the importance of timing and strategy when managing debt.   Devin also shared some practical tips, like keeping credit accounts open and active, and managing your credit utilization carefully. These small adjustments can lead to significant improvements in your credit score.  

On today's episode we have a great interview with none other than S.P. Sullivan, who covers the crime beat at the Star Ledger. He talks us through the Menendez trial, Norcross, the county line, who's now sweating it, in what ways Menendez might be an empathetic figure, and why this state is as shady as it is. It was a true joy and honor talking to Sean, who gave us a real insider view into the crime side of this sometimes sordid state. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

It was a remarkable moment because Norcross is charged in a racketeering case that, by definition, involves intimidation. The 111-page indictment alleges that Norcross and five others run a criminal enterprise to “extort others through threats and fear of economic and reputational harm.”Note: This episode does contain some foul language.
