News First Slice 4/10/12: APS redistricting practically final-final plan revealed
Posted by Eric Celeste on Tue, Apr 10, 2012 at 9:59 AM
1. Superintendent Erroll B. Davis stayed up late finishing his redistricting homework so he could reveal his plan before tonight's school board meeting, in which the final-final plan (sort of; he says things could still change, but it's unlikely) will be voted on.
2. Georgia's "stand your ground" law was challenged yesterday in a federal lawsuit filed in Atlanta yesterday. The suit says the law is too vague, noting: "It is not clear what actions would create ‘reasonable belief' that deadly force is necessary."
3. The AJC reports that the city of Atlanta spent $1.2 million in legal fees conducting its own investigation of the Atlanta Eagle raid, almost as much ($1.5 million) as it has spent on settlements.
