The water crisis is over, but how much of Atlanta’s water infrastructure needs replacement?
Jun 05, 2024•57 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
Atlanta City Council President Doug Shipman discusses the fallout from the city water main breaks, including the response to the crisis by city officials. He also talks about the water system infrastructure, which in some cases includes pipes that are more than a century old.
Then, the podcast welcomes former state Sen. Mike Dugan, who is in a runoff for the Republican nomination for Georgia’s 3rd district U.S. House seat. Dugan addresses why he wants the job and responds to questions about the challenge of facing opponent Brian Jack, who has a strong endorsement from Donald Trump.
Plus, Georgia State University professor Anthony Michael Kreis joins a conversation about the next steps in the Fulton County election conspiracy case. Tamar Hallerman discusses the three-judge state court of appeals panel that will take up an appeal from defendants who are asking the court to overturn a ruling that allows Fulton County DA Fani Willis to remain on the case despite alleged conflicts.
