Hide and Seek with Sen. Bill Heath

Elected officials in Georgia on far too many occasions say and do outrageous things, sometimes with no consequence. But one state Sen. Bill Heath not only sent a condescending email to thousands of concerned Georgians, he hid from a reporter when she approached him to ask about his email.

Chip Rogers and GPB

Chip Rogers has lost his contract with Georgia Public Broadcasting. It’s hard to say that he was “fired” because he never had much of a job to begin with.
