Georgia special session tests GOP tax plans and election rules

Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy begin with the sad news that their friend and conservative commentator Martha Zoller died Monday after wrapping up her radio show last week. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, they reflect on Zoller’s legacy before turning to the special legislative session at the state Capitol. They break down how a session that began with voting-system deadlines and redistricting drama shifted into a fight over property tax relief, sales taxes and Democratic leverage. They also explain the proposed delay to Georgia’s QR-code voting ban, the push for hand recounts and the changing power dynamics among Republican leaders. Have a question or comment for the show?

MARTA, Voting Rights, and the World Cup

Greg Bluestein is joined by Patricia Murphy and former Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin to dig into the collision of events bearing down on the city: the World Cup, a redistricting special session, and growing organizing around voting rights. Franklin weighs in on the Supreme Court's Voting Rights Act ruling, what it could mean for Georgia's congressional map, and Keisha Lance Bottoms' path in the governor's race. Then, with Tia Mitchell, Greg sits down with MARTA Police Chief Scott Kreher to take on the surge in violent incidents on the transit system just as hundreds of thousands of World Cup visitors are about to arrive.

The future of the Plaza Theatre on Ponce

Located in the Briarcliff Plaza shopping center, now branded Plaza on Ponce, the Plaza Theatre is the only independently owned movie theater remaining inside the Perimeter and the longest continuously operating one of its kind in Atlanta. Christopher Escobar, 35, purchased the Plaza in 2017 and recently signed a 25-year lease with Asana Partners, who bought the shopping center five years ago. Despite the societal challenges working against him — the rise of streaming, the pandemic, fancy multiplexes — he sees a pathway to make the Plaza even more of a neighborhood magnet, a community hub, a gathering spot. And he has big plans. Rodney Ho spoke with Escobar about those plans and the future of the Plaza Theatre for this week’s podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
