1. The people have spoken. T-SPLOST went down like the Titanic, but, hey, BROOKHAVEN IS OFFICIALLY A CITY! Brookhaven Patch must be feeling awfully jaunty right about now.

3. U.S. Rep. John Lewis was victorious against opponent and former Fulton County judge Michael Johnson, and was reelected for another term. Maybe those mug shot posters paid off. Or maybe it was the whole being-a-civil-rights-icon thing.
4. As all your Facebook friends who want to sound smart probably already informed you, author Gore Vidal has passed away at age 86.
