  • Lawmakers eyeing Flock regulations and Trump, Obama campaigning in Georgia
    Oct 24 2026

    Several communities in Georgia are eyeing potential legislation in an effort to rein in the use and potential abuse of license plate readers from Atlanta-based Flock. Also, U.S. Post Office officials say they are taking extraordinary measures-- like extra deliveries, special pickups, and more localized drop offs to board of election facilities-- to make sure ballots are returned on time and safely. We'll also break down the political landscape as President Donald Trump makes his second visit and former President Barack Obama is set to come here in less than a week. Plus, the Trump administration is changing how it interprets the Endangered Species Act and that could have an affect on some iconic Georgia species. And since it is Halloween season, we'll take a trip to one of the nation's premiere haunted houses, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.
