Senate culture war legislation shut down by House in final hours of 2024 session

The hosts talk to WABE’s Sam Gringlas about the issues that won final approval, and those that went down in flames as the 2024 session came to an end in the early hours of Friday morning. Then, Andrew Morse, president and publisher of the AJC joins the podcast to discuss why he’d led the charge to save Georgia’s Okefenokee Swamp from mining companies setting up operations nearby. And the panel discusses the failure of the legislature to act on a bill that would have provided a temporary halt on mining near the swamp. And, it’s Friday, so the hosts take questions from the “Politically Georgia” listener mailbag and give their picks for who’s up and who’s down this week.
