- Fire station closed in 2008 because of budget cuts
State Rep. Tyrone Brooks, D-Atlanta, says that he's the target of a federal investigation looking into the Georgia Association of Black Elected Officials.
MARTA board members have acknowledged that they violated the law last October by conducting a vote behind closed doors as they selected a new general manager.
A new bill proposed by Rep. Sandra Scott, D-Rex, would protect employee social media rights by preventing an employer from asking for passwords to Facebook, Twitter, and other accounts.
The United State Postal Service has said that they'll stop delivering mail on Saturdays. It's a cost-cutting measure that would save the agency an estimated $2 billion per year.
UPDATE, February 18: To clarify, MARTA acknowledged in a MOU that they failed to "properly notice Committee Meetings" and "promply execute the required executive sessions affidavits after each committee meeting."
