Show Notes

Deacon Johnny Hollman Sr., who was involved in a minor traffic accident, died on Aug. 10 after he was tased by Atlanta Police Officer Kiran Kimbrough. Officer Kimbrough has been terminated—but Hollman’s family and their attorneys are now demanding further accountability. Attorney Harold Spence discusses a new pending civil rights lawsuit against the City of Atlanta, Kimbrough and the tow truck driver who responded to the scene. 

 

Plus, last week, Staci Fox, the president and CEO of the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute, gave an analysis of Governor Brian Kemp’s budget proposal and talked with Rose about the institute’s 2024 policy priorities. On Tuesday’s program, Kyle Wingfield, the president and CEO of the Georgia Public Policy Foundation, shares his organization’s legislative and budgetary priorities from a perspective of economic freedom, limited government and personal responsibility.
