Georgia Chase Suspect Rams Patrol Car on Burroughs Road, Then Crashes Fleeing

A vehicle chase that began in Canon, Georgia ended with a suspect under arrest after ramming a police patrol car on a property and then crashing before deputies could catch up. Franklin County deputies said they assisted Canon police as the pursuit wound through town and onto a property containing a home and a chicken-house farm, where the fleeing driver struck one of the pursuing patrol vehicles before speeding off again.

Bottoms faces task of bridging divide between metro Atlanta, rural Georgia

ANALYSIS — Georgia just elected a governor who didn’t need rural Georgia to win. That may turn out to be the most important fact about this election, more important than the size of Keisha Lance Bottoms’ margin or how badly the polls missed it. The question now is what her victory means for rural Georgia, and for any state policy that hopes to address its problems.

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,"

Women put their stamp on Georgia election

ATLANTA — Women won big in Georgia on Election Day. Eight women, all of them Black Democrats, expect to be sworn in to statewide office in January after defeating Republicans on Tuesday. The unofficial tally by the Georgia secretary of state's office shows a Black Democratic woman taking over that agency, along with the offices for governor and attorney general. The results also show Black Democratic women flipping the state school superintendent's office, which oversees education, and the agriculture, insurance and labor commissioner posts, and putting one at the table in a new Democratic majority controlling the commission that regulates utilities. Democrats nearly flipped the state Senate, according to the tally, which shows at least two Democratic women unseating Republican men, including one who authored the state's abortion ban when he was in the state House of Representatives. Results also show at least three Democratic women unseating Republican men in the state House, helping their party end more than two decades of GOP rule there. Rep. Carolyn Hugley, D-Columbus, who is the House minority leader, is among those in line to become speaker when a new Democratic majority convenes to select leadership. Like the women who won statewide, Hugley is

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
