Bottoms says she talked to Kemp about the budget

(The Center Square) – Georgia Gov.-elect Keisha Lance Bottoms will inherit a budget that Gov. Brian Kemp said, when he signed the fiscal year 2027 budget, will have a nearly $1 billion revenue reduction. The state's reserve fund is also dwindling, according to a report by the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute. "In total, the state reported spending down $6.3 billion in General Fund Reserves, including $4.5 billion on Amended Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations, $1.4 billion on one-time tax credits and $372 million on the mid-year adjustment for K-12 education," according to the report. "These expenditures reduced the balance of General Fund Reserves from $14.9 billion to $8.7 billion, after adjusting for $141.5 million in additional revenues raised and in unspent funds during FY 2026." Bottoms said at a Friday news conference that when she started her campaign for governor, reserves were about $15 billion and estimated a much lower figure for the reserve fund when she takes office in January. "I believe it is on track to be between $1 billion and $2 billion by the time January comes … but I do know the budget surplus is a lot less than it was when we launched our campaign,"

Governor appoints 2 Columbus lawyers as Muscogee County judges

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has selected two Columbus attorneys to serve as Muscogee County State Court judges. Kemp appointed Chief Recorder’s Court Judge David Ranieri and private practice attorney Alex Shalishali to the court. Judge Pete Temesgen is the only State Court judge in Muscogee County after Judge Andy Prather retired. The other position was created by the Georgia General Assembly when it added a third State Court judge for Muscogee County. According to the news release from the governor’s office: Ranieri began his legal career in the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps. He served as a prosecutor for more than 21 years, handling misdemeanor and felony cases in the U.S. Army, the Muscogee County Solicitor General’s Office and the Chattahoochee Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office. He also spent more than nine years in private practice, primarily handling civil litigation involving personal injury, construction, medical malpractice, transportation, insurance coverage, workers’ compensation and business disputes. Born and raised in Columbus, Judge Ranieri attended Columbus College before transferring to Mercer University on an Army ROTC scholarship. He graduated cum laude in 1985 with a bachelor’s degree in political science and earned his law degree from Mercer University in 1988. “I am

Teach in the Peach, CFP Foundation will award $1,000 to a Georgia teacher each week

The Georgia Department of Education's Teach in the Peach initiative and the College Football Playoff (CFP) Foundation are teaming up through the Georgia Teachers Initiative to celebrate Georgia teachers and provide funding for classroom supplies through a new Teacher of the Week recognition. Each week for 40 weeks, a Georgia teacher will be recognized as Teacher of the Week and receive a $1,000 DonorsChoose gift code. The recognition builds on the Georgia Teachers Initiative's ongoing work to celebrate and support educators across the state. Students, parents, fellow educators, administrators, and community members can nominate teachers year-round through the Georgia Teachers Initiative platform. Nominations should describe how the teacher has made a significant impact on students, their school, or their community. "The CFP Foundation is thrilled to continue recognizing Georgia's outstanding educators," said Britton Banowsky, Executive Director of the CFP Foundation. "We are deeply grateful for our longstanding partnership with the Georgia Department of Education and the Georgia Teachers Initiative to ensure teachers receive the support and resources they need to thrive."

Bottoms to focus on healthcare and other affordability issues

ATLANTA — In her first news conference after Election Day, Georgia's governor-elect, Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms, said she will be focused on the cost of living, access to healthcare and funding for public education — the affordability issues she said voters had elected her to address. Expanding Medicaid will top her agenda, she said, noting that hundreds of thousands of Georgians lack health insurance due to the state's approach to Medicaid and because of increasingly unaffordable premiums for coverage under the Affordable Care Act. "The people made it loud and clear what they care about. They want leaders who are going to address those kitchen table issues that are impacting their daily lives," Bottoms said at the Georgia Capitol Friday, flanked by members of her transition team. She said Gov. Brian Kemp called her on election night and that they spoke the next day. She said the two-term Republican told her he would help her with her transition to the governor's office. She added that the two have a "very cordial, friendly, personal relationship" despite their policy differences. One such difference is Kemp's approach to Medicaid, a work-based program called Pathways to Coverage. A federal Government Accountability Office report found

Gwinnett's 15 state playoff football teams learn 1st-round matchups

For the first time ever, the Georgia High School football playoff brackets were determined by PSR, Post Season Rankings. As opposed to the previous format where the top four teams in each region earned automatic playoff bids and matchups were pre-determined by region, the new format takes every team’s winning percentage, opponent’s winning percentage and opponents’ opponents’ winning percentage into account and seeds teams 1-32. Region winners are guaranteed a top-16 seed and a home playoff game in the first round, but other than that PSR was the only consideration used to seed teams. A total of 15 Gwinnett County teams will extend their seasons to state. The state’s top classification, Class AAAAAAA, will have 10 Gwinnett representatives, with one team qualifying out of Class AAAAAA and four Private teams making up the numbers. In Class AAAAAAA, the biggest eye-catcher was Buford ending up at No. 9 despite its 10-0 record and top-three national rankings. The defending state champion Wolves were one of just three undefeated teams in the classification along with Newton and Carrollton, but a very weak region hurt its metrics. Nobody else in the region finished over .500, and Buford’s opponents averaged a .42778 winning percentage, the
