Coweta County, Georgia, resident Ansley Brown made international news this year when she posted on X that she was saying goodbye to her childhood home, describing it as being demolished to make way for data center power lines.

Rockdale voters approve FLOST for property tax relief

CONYERS — Rockdale County voters have approved a new 1% sales tax intended to reduce county and city property taxes, according to unofficial election results. The Floating Local Option Sales Tax, or FLOST, received about 64% of the vote in Tuesday’s election. Unofficial results Wednesday showed 21,084 voters supporting the measure and 11,942 voting against it. Rockdale voters approve a 1% FLOST for property tax relief The vote authorizes Rockdale County to collect an additional 1% sales and use tax for five years, with the revenue required to be used exclusively to reduce property taxes imposed by Rockdale County and the city of Conyers. The new tax will raise the combined sales tax rate in Rockdale County from 7% to 8%. County officials estimated ahead of the election that FLOST could generate approximately $26 million countywide in 2027. Under an agreement between Rockdale County and Conyers, approximately 81.5%, or about $21 million, would go to the county, while roughly 18.4%, or $4.8 million, would go to the city. Unlike a SPLOST, which funds designated capital projects, FLOST revenue must fund property tax relief. During a September town hall on the proposal, officials estimated the revenue could reduce the county’s current

Late Gwinnett judge honored by county leaders on her birthday

Although Gwinnett County Superior Court Judge Deborah Fluker passed away earlier this year, her memory was not forgotten by county government and court leaders on what would have been her birthday last week. The county held an unveiling ceremony for a portrait of Fluker this past Friday at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center in Lawrenceville. “I knew her not only as a respected judge, but a dedicated public servant. She was also a woman of compassion conviction and grace,” Clerk of Court Tiana Garner told attendees at the ceremony. “She was a devoted wife, mother and friend whose presence touched so many lives both in and outside the courtroom. “I can stand here today and say she is truly missed.” Fluker, who was first elected to the Superior Court bench in 2020, passed away in April after a battle with pancreatic cancer. She had been a prosecutor in the Gwinnett District Attorney’s Office and a judge in lower courts before she joined the Superior Court bench. Fluker’s husband, Reggie, and their children attended the ceremony to see her portrait unveiled. “Just six months ago, we gathered to remember Judge Deborah Fluker’s life and mourn her passing.
