Athens News Matters: The Panel Recaps Recent Mayor and Commission Meeting

WUGA's Alexia Ridley sits down with this week's panel to discuss the recent Mayor and Commission meeting, including the vote on the human relations commission and the police oversight board. We'll discuss news about a possible high-profile challenger to Kemp in the gubernatorial primary: David Perdue. Panelists will also talk about the results of Tuesday's ESPLOST vote.

Alexia came to Athens from Macon where she served as the News Director and show host for WGXA TV. She's a career journalist and Savannah native hailing from the University of Michigan.
