Description

Host Greg Bluestein talks with Washington correspondent Tia Mitchell about the month-long federal government shutdown and its growing impact across Georgia. They discuss how unpaid federal workers, food assistance cuts, and airline staffing shortages are putting new pressure on both parties to reach a deal. Then Greg speaks with Democratic Public Service Commission candidate Peter Hubbard about his campaign to challenge Georgia’s GOP energy regulators. Hubbard explains why he believes data centers should pay more for electricity, how the state can better manage energy costs, and what he would do to lower power bills for Georgians.
