Jon Ossoff criticized Postmaster General Louis DeJoy for failing to meet his pledge to restore on-time mail delivery in Georgia, which remains at 75%. The delays began after a new mail distribution center in Palmetto opened last year, with issues arising from a postal restructuring plan aimed at financial self-sufficiency. DeJoy admitted to ongoing challenges, despite promising improvements within 60 days. Ossoff highlighted the severe impacts on seniors awaiting prescriptions, small businesses, and timely delivery of critical notices. DeJoy defended the three-day target for mail delivery, while Ossoff urged for better performance.    STORY 7:  Brookwood Football Parts Ways with Head Coach Philip Jones  Brookwood High School has parted ways with head football coach Philip Jones after 10 seasons. Jones, an alum and former team captain of the 1996 state championship team, led the Broncos to the playoffs eight times, including a Final Four appearance in 2017. His deep ties to the program include playing and coaching under Brookwood legends and continuing his father's legacy as a longtime coach. Despite dealing with health struggles this past season, Jones' impact is widely recognized. The school will now start a nationwide search for a new coach to build on Brookwood's proud traditions and history of success.    Break 4: Ingles Markets 9    Signoff –   Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Corey Collins, another North Gwinnett graduate and standout at Georgia, went to the New York Mets in the sixth round. Conrad Cason, from Greater Atlanta Christian and a top high-school prospect, was picked by the Boston Red Sox in the eighth round. Ramsey David, a Buford grad and pitcher at Southeastern University, was chosen by the Houston Astros in the tenth round. Their selections mark a milestone in their baseball careers, reflecting their talent and potential in professional baseball. STORY 5: Former Georgia Insurance Commissioner Sentenced To Prison Former Georgia Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine has been sentenced to three and a half years in prison for conspiring to commit healthcare fraud related to unnecessary lab testing. The scheme involved Oxendine and Dr. Jeffrey Gallups, who conspired to submit fraudulent insurance claims for tests like Pharmacogenetic and Molecular Genetic testing. These tests were medically unnecessary but were ordered to generate profits from insurers and patients, amounting to over $3 million in claims. Oxendine received kickbacks through his consulting business, which he used to make charitable contributions and pay legal fees, and he instructed others to lie to federal agents to cover up the fraud. STORY 6: Trump is ‘fine' and gunman dead after shooting at rally   Former President Donald Trump was rushed off stage during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, after a shooter outside the event grounds caused panic with loud popping noises. Trump was seen grabbing his ear and later appeared with blood on his right ear, reportedly from an injury. He is described as "fine" and is undergoing evaluation at a local medical facility. The shooter is deceased, and there was one fatality and a critically injured person among bystanders. President Joe Biden condemned the violence, and law enforcement agencies including the Secret Service, FBI, and Pennsylvania State Police are investigating the incident. STORY 7: Parkview Baseball Coach Chan Brown Hired at Gainesville Longtime Parkview baseball head coach Chan Brown has accepted the head coaching position at Gainesville, marking a significant change after 20 successful seasons at Parkview. Brown, who took over from the legendary Hugh Buchanan, led Parkview to six state titles and three national championships. His decision to move was influenced by family considerations, including proximity to his son at the University of Georgia. Brown expressed gratitude to the Parkview community while Gainesville praised his leadership and commitment to developing both players and character. The move comes as Parkview faces its first coaching change in nearly 50 years, highlighting the end of an era for the program. We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: INGLES 6 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

This follows a magnitude 2.5 quake on Thursday and a magnitude 2.1 quake early Friday. Sunday's earthquake was the shallowest, at 1.4 miles deep, near Buford Dam Road and Old Shadburn Ferry Road.

Break 2: TOM WAGES   STORY 4: Gwinnett County Police are getting a new headquarters Gwinnett County officials have approved a $5.8 million contract with Precision Planning Inc. to design and provide construction administration services for a new Gwinnett Police Department Headquarters facility. The current headquarters, built in 1977 and expanded in 1988, no longer meets the department's needs. The new facility, expected to be completed in 2026, will consolidate off-site police teams and include a parking deck. The site, located at 800 Hi Hope Road, will replace the existing headquarters and E911 facilities. Funding for the project comes from the 2023 SPLOST Program. STORY 5: Moderna Announces Good Results From Trial of Combo COVID/Flu Vaccine Moderna has announced positive results from trials of its experimental mRNA-1083 vaccine, which targets both COVID-19 and influenza. The vaccine showed promising immune responses in older adults, equal to current vaccines targeting either flu or COVID-19. While not ready for this flu season, the vaccine could provide more convenient immunization options and improve compliance. It combines components from Moderna's seasonal influenza vaccine candidate and next-generation COVID-19 vaccine candidate. Safety profiles appear similar to single-virus vaccines. The potential challenge lies in encouraging vaccine-weary Americans to embrace the dual-purpose vaccine.

STORY 7: Burt Jones: Economic worries will help Trump win back presidency During a speech at the Georgia Press Association's annual conference, Lt. Gov. Burt Jones forecasted that inflation would bolster support for former President Donald Trump's potential 2024 White House bid. Jones emphasized that while the 2020 election was driven by personality, the upcoming election will focus on economic issues.

Jones highlighted the importance of the economy in recent polling data, with 29% of respondents prioritizing it over other issues.

Break 1: GCPS   STORY 1: Lawrenceville Father Was Driving Over 100 MPH In Collision That Killed 3 Aaron Vaughn, a Lawrenceville man, faces multiple charges, including second-degree murder and vehicular homicide, following a collision on March 10 that killed three people, including his 5-year-old daughter. Gwinnett police reported that Vaughn was driving his Chevrolet Camaro at over 100 mph, exceeding the 45-mph speed limit, when he crashed into a BMW in Peachtree Corners. The BMW's occupants, Armas Harding and Laura Rueda, died at the scene. Vaughn's daughter, Aura Camarono, also died, while a 6-year-old in the backseat survived. Both children were unrestrained by child safety seats as required by Georgia law. Vaughn faces additional charges, including cruelty to children and reckless driving. STORY 2: Tucker Man Dead In Snellville After Traffic Stop Leads To Officer-Involved Shooting The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is probing an officer-involved shooting resulting in the death of Rashawn Johnson in Snellville. The incident unfolded during a traffic stop at around 4 a.m. on U.S. Highway 78. Snellville Police stated that Johnson, when ordered out of his car for arrest, brandished a handgun and pointed it at his head. Despite attempts to de-escalate, Johnson allegedly fired his weapon, prompting officers to return fire, resulting in his death. GBI revealed Johnson was holding a phone initially, with the gun concealed. The agency detailed the events leading to the shooting, indicating Johnson's non-compliance with officer commands. Autopsy results are pending, and GBI will submit its findings to the Gwinnett District Attorney's Office.   STORY 3: Police: Vandals Damaged Construction Equipment At Rowen Site Authorities are on the lookout for two individuals suspected of causing havoc at the Rowen knowledge community construction site on St. Patrick's Day. The suspects, described as young white males with slim physiques, reportedly engaged in several destructive acts including damaging windshield wipers, defacing equipment with spray paint, tampering with the seat of a construction vehicle, and stealing two SIM cards from a security camera setup. Rowen is envisioned as a groundbreaking development aimed at fostering innovation across agriculture, medicine, and environmental sciences, with aspirations to generate upwards of 100,000 job opportunities. However, the realization of this vision is expected to span several decades. Law enforcement is appealing to the public for assistance in identifying the culprits. They encourage anyone with pertinent information to reach out to detectives or to submit tips anonymously via Crime Stoppers, noting that information leading to an arrest and indictment may be eligible for a financial reward.

We'll be right back Break 2: TOM WAGES   STORY 4: VA Regional Office renamed for Johnny Isakson The Atlanta Veterans Affairs Regional Office was renamed in honor of the late U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson during a ceremony in Decatur. Isakson, who passed away in 2021, was renowned for his bipartisan approach and commitment to veterans' affairs. Senator Jon Ossoff highlighted Isakson's values, work ethic, and dedication to national interests. Isakson's bipartisan efforts, such as hosting annual bipartisan barbecues, aimed to foster cooperation in the Senate. Ossoff sponsored the bill renaming the VA office after Isakson, which passed in 2022, reflecting Isakson's enduring legacy in serving the nation and its veterans. STORY 5: Police Chase Stolen Construction Vehicle Around Norcross Area Eddie Sanchez, a former employee from Delaware, stole a 75,000-pound construction vehicle from a waste management company in the Norcross area, a place where he had been previously terminated. This set off a police chase through Norcross's streets, drawing the attention and resources of several law enforcement agencies. Throughout the pursuit, Sanchez navigated the hefty vehicle with erratic and unpredictable movements, weaving through heavy traffic and putting countless drivers at risk.   The chase reached its climax when law enforcement strategically deployed another front loader alongside a garbage truck to intercept and halt the stolen vehicle. This maneuver successfully flipped the construction vehicle onto its side, bringing the chaotic chase to an end approximately five miles from where the theft initially occurred.   Sanchez was arrested and now faces a slew of charges, including criminal trespass, theft, fleeing from police, reckless driving, and obstruction. Remarkably, the incident ended without any reported injuries or significant property damage.   We'll be back in a moment.   Break 3:  HENRY CO SHERIFFS – ATL HEALTH FAIR   STORY 6: 2 in 3 teens worry about how sick days may impact grades A recent study revealed that two-thirds of parents are concerned about their teens missing school due to illness impacting their grades. Many parents struggle with deciding if their child should stay home when they're not feeling well, considering factors like symptoms, contagiousness, and school attendance policies. The study, conducted by researchers at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health, surveyed 1,300 parents of children aged 11 to 18. Parents are more likely to keep kids home just to be safe, while others may send them to school hoping for the best. Sarah Clark, the study's lead author, recommends parents ask more questions to understand their child's request for a sick day, including considering mental health concerns. She suggests mental health days could help teens navigate social stressors and build resilience. However, parents of children with chronic medical conditions face challenges with school policies, and discussions with school administrators and healthcare providers may be necessary to ensure flexibility and support for these students. STORY 7: Georgia House panel set to vote whether to create a path for legalized online sports betting The House Higher Education Committee in Georgia is set to vote on sports betting legislation before the legislative session ends on Thursday. The proposed bill would establish a framework for online sports gambling and a constitutional amendment referendum for voters to decide on legalizing sports betting. Debate within the committee has centered on how revenue from sports gambling should be allocated, with discussions on funding education programs, including pre-K and historically Black colleges and universities. Proposed amendments include increasing the state's tax revenue from sports betting and determining how to prioritize funding allocations. The legislation aims to regulate the online sports betting industry while generating revenue for educational initiatives, with supporters emphasizing the importance of gauging public interest through a constitutional referendum. We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: INGLES 8 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.
