(The Center Square) – Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will appear before a Georgia Senate committee on Wednesday to talk about her case against President Donald Trump and others, the Senate said Monday. The Senate Special Committee on Investigation has been battling Willis over a subpoena first issued in 2024. The Supreme Court of Georgia heard oral arguments over Willis' challenge to the subpoena last week. Willis' attorney, former Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes, said she would be appearing at a future meeting. The meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. at the Capitol and will be livestreamed, according to the...

In 1913, Frank was convicted of murdering 13-year-old Mary Phagan, who worked in his Atlanta factory. The case, charged with race, religion, sex and class, exploded in a national media frenzy. When Georgia's governor commuted Frank's death sentence, citizens took matters in their own hands. The case established the Anti-Defamation League as the country's most outspoken opponent of anti-Semitism. It also fueled the rebirth of the Ku Klux Klan. Until ADL lawyers pressed officials to posthumously pardon Frank in the 1980s, the case was hushed in Atlanta's synagogues, the homes of Old Marietta, and among Phagan's descendants.

VILLA RICA, Ga. — Roy Barnes has a solution to the economic crisis in Georgia. According to his website (www.roy2010.com), one of his first acts as governor will be to "retrofit every state building and public school in Georgia for clean, efficient energy consumption - this includes the use of low-flow toilets and the expansion of our sewer systems where necessary. These projects will reduce the state's energy and water costs in the long run, while putting Georgians back to work right now." Barnes apparently believes that a combination of savings from water conservation and government spending on potty programs...

The Democratic campaign of former Gov. Roy Barnes has had a new TV spot up for nearly a week, but only made it available via the Internet this afternoon. The delay was attributed to Fourth of July logistics. The content is sensitive, directed at some of the odder and more ideologically polarizing causes pursued by Republican hardcores in the state Capitol – material that Barnes has regularly used as laugh lines on the stump. For instance, on (unsuccessful) GOP legislation to ban the involuntary implantation of microchips in human beings: “If somebody holds me down and drives a microchip into...

Posted on Thu, Apr. 24, 2003 Former Georgia governor endorses Sen. John Edwards Associated Press ATLANTA -Former Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes is endorsing Sen. John Edwards for the Democratic presidential nomination, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Thursday. Barnes said the early endorsement is the result of long ties with Edwards, a fellow Democrat and lawyer. Barnes also said he and his wife, Marie, had made the maximum allowable contributions to the North Carolina senator. "I like him and I have known him for some time," Barnes told the newspaper Wednesday. "I think he brings a fresh perspective to the issues and...

When it came time to write my state income tax check and federal income tax check (amount owed), an impish thought came over me. I decided to put the reason for this check. For the state income tax check, I put "Roy Barnes retirement fund" -- the former governor of Georgia defeated in the last election. And this is partly true -- some of my tax dollars in Georgia will go for a retirement for Roy Barnes. On my Federal Tax Return, I had even more fun -- I wrote that this check was for the "Bill Clinton retirement fund"....

At the beginning of the school year, Dixie Outfitters T-shirts were all the rage at Cherokee High School. Girls seemed partial to one featuring the Confederate battle flag in the shape of a rose. Boys often wore styles that discreetly but unmistakably displayed Dixie Outfitters' rebel emblem logo. But now the most popular Dixie Outfitters shirt at the school doesn't feature a flag at all. It says: ''Jesus and the Confederate Battle Flag: Banned From Our Schools But Forever in Our Hearts.'' It became an instant favorite after school officials prohibited shirts featuring the battle flag in response to complaints...

It seems the NRA is thinking of endorsing Roy Barnes, our governor who recently signed SB 385, a heinous piece of gun control legislation. It grants powers that no governor should have. A supporter of this bill deserves the wrath of all gun owners and the NRA not their support. Here is part of SB385. SECTION 14. Said chapter is further amended by striking paragraph (8) of subsection (d) of Code Section 38_3_51 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to emergency powers of the Governor, termination of emergency, limitation in energy emergency, and immunity, and inserting in its...
