Defending a great state: A column by Bill Boyd from the Telegraph archives

It isn’t always easy to be a Georgian. Outsiders obviously don’t regard us as highly as we regard ourselves. But that’s their fault. They ought to get to know us, and then they wouldn’t talk about us the way they sometimes do. It may appear to some natives of this state that I shouldn’t be speaking for Georgians. After all, I was born in Oklahoma and raised by the U.S. Marine Corps. But I have now lived here in Georgia very close to half of my 63 years (counting my Marine days in Albany) and my claim to Georgia is by my own proclamation rather than birthright. Regardless of what a visitor might hear, we do not hate Yankees. We like to needle folks, and if we didn’t needle Yanks about being Yanks, it would be something else. On the other hand, if Georgians don’t like a person, they won’t needle at all. Perhaps you’ve heard that Georgians are clannish. If that means we tend to take care of one another, then we are guilty. But we are not clannish in a standoffish way. We are helpful. If you have a flat tire, you won’t stand beside the interstate all

What Georgia's election could mean for data centers

(The Center Square) – Data center companies interested in Georgia will have a new Democratic-majority Public Service Commission and a governor who wants to take a closer look at their development. The data center boom has not shown signs of slowing down, with five new Development of Regional Impact filings in October alone, according to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs. The latest, filed Oct. 29, is a 1.5-million-square-foot facility situated on 235 acres in Fulton County's Union City. Georgia Conservation Voters and its affiliated PAC, Georgia Conservation Voters Action Fund, poured $4.3 million in two election cycles for Democratic Public Service Commission candidates, the organization said. Democrat Peter Hubbard won a July 2025 special election, ousting Fitz Johnson, who was appointed by Gov. Brian Kemp to serve the remainder of the term of Chuck Eaton, who was appointed to the Fulton County Superior Court, according to election results from the Georgia Secretary of State. Hubbard defeated Johnson again on Tuesday and was elected to a full term. Democrat Sheila Edwards won an open seat on Tuesday by defeating Republican Josh Tolbert. Hubbard and Edwards join Democrat Alicia Johnson, who was also elected in July 2025 by defeating long-time commissioner

A long road to motherhood: Inside Georgia's maternity care deserts

Until recently, the thought of a long drive never bothered Storm Savage. When the 23-year-old and her boyfriend left metro Atlanta and moved to Peach County, she made peace with their decision to settle into a rural home with goats and cattle within earshot. But now, she’s in her third trimester of pregnancy, and the highway is becoming grueling. Her twice-monthly, 60-mile roundtrip drives to Macon to see her OB-GYN are exhausting. Soon enough, she’ll have to make the trek every week. With each mile, a worrying scenario plays out in her mind: What if she goes into labor at home in Peach County and has to navigate the drive herself? Savage lives in what March of Dimes calls a maternity care desert — one of 69 Georgia counties with no birthing facilities or dedicated obstetric clinics, according to the nonprofit’s most recent report . With recent hospital closures and a dwindling number of physicians, Georgia finds itself among the worst places to have a child, especially for Black women, like Savage. It’s a problem that Mercer University’s School of Medicine has been working hard to combat for more than four decades. Yet, despite the school’s efforts, experts warn the
