Today on Athens News Matters, even after a year that saw many sectors of the local economy hit hard – especially the vulnerable service industry – Athens Clarke County officials are cautiously optimistic about the county’s financial position.
We’ll talk to Mayor Kelly Girtz about how that optimism might inform the city’s budget.
Also today, fewer people are in jail since the pandemic began, but some defendants might also be waiting longer for their day in court. We’ll talk about the changes COVID-19 has forced on to the local criminal justice system.
Plus, more of your garden questions answered.
Those stories, our panel on the week in news, and more … coming up on Athens News Matters.
