As the Omicron Variant of the Coronavirus surges in Clarke County, ACC Commissioners passed another emergency declaration at their meeting on Tuesday. This is the county's 25th passed declaration since the beginning of the pandemic nearly 3 years ago. 

ACC District 3 Commissioner Melissa Link joins WUGA's Chris Shupe to talk about how the county is responding, how the vaccine mandate for government staff is going, and the year ahead.

Chris Shupe was the Program Director of WUGA from 2014-2022. Shupe may be best known as The Athens King, a tribute to Elvis Presley, which often included an 8 piece show band! After two years as a part-time announcer, Chris Shupe joined WUGA full time as the station’s Morning Edition Host and Assistant Operations Director. He was later promoted to PD in 2014.
