BRACK: Big dose of activities this week: Scoreboard 3-0, politicians

By Elliott Brack |  Georgians got a triple dose of  politics this week. It didn’t taste good. First came the announcement that Chief Justice David Nahmias that he would resign after 12 years on the Georgia Supreme Court. That wasn’t so unusual. But note the timing of his announcement.

BRACK: Could the voting limits take down a sitting governor?

By Elliott Brack  |  You wonder if Gov. Brian Kemp sealed his political future last week when he signed the new voter suppression bill almost immediately after it passed the Legislature, a knee-jerk reaction if we have ever seen one.

Kemp

BRACK: What was the governor thinking in reopening  services?

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher  |  “What was Governor Kemp thinking?”

That’s what we are hearing from normal, everyday citizens, about Governor Brian Kemps’ surprise and sudden decision to open up some sectors of the economy. Many feel that the governor acted prematurely in making this move, especially when there is little evidence that Georgia has reached its peak in COVID-19 infections. The governor showed little evidence that the state has peaked in more virus cases.

BRACK: Isakson announcement turns Georgia political world topsy-turvy

By Elliott Brack  | The political world in Georgia got thrown topsy-turvy for the coming year’s election, when Sen. Johnny Isakson announced that he would resign from the Senate at the end of the year. The senior senator has served with distinction for 14 years, and has been re-elected rather easily two times. He was not so much the Republican party man, as he was more moderate in his decisions, reflecting many Georgian’s views.
