The state is moving forward with a plan to place Narcan " the fast-acting opioid reversal spray " in every public school by spring of next year. For Andrew Butler, the effort comes just as his family approaches a heartbreaking milestone: five years since his 17-year-old daughter Clara died after unknowingly taking a fentanyl-laced pill. Clara Butler was a senior at Collins Hill High School " an energetic, joyful teen who loved water skiing, working in the garden, her church, and her friends. "She was very outgoing" didn't know a stranger," her father said. The night before she died, the family had celebrated her brother's birthday. They came home, said goodnight, and Andrew told…...

25+ min ago (472+ words) ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - AT&T has leveled six sunken manhole covers on Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard in southwest Atlanta and reimbursed a bicyclist for damages following an Atlanta News First investigation, but similar hazards remain on newly paved city streets. Steve Williams, who rides his bike to work daily, hit a sunken manhole cover at the intersection of Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard and Lawton Street. The impact dented his bike rim. Williams filed a $227 damage claim with the city of Atlanta but was denied without explanation. He said the city officials forwarded his claim to Georgia's Department of Transportation (GDOT) but claims he never received a response. Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard is a state route within city limits and part of an ongoing city revitalization project. State contracts show a $1.7 million project to resurface 1.3 miles of Ralph David…...

30+ min ago (560+ words) At the Dec. 3 Atlanta Regional Housing Forum, the city's chief of staff, Courtney English, took the floor to talk about an ambitious plan to extend all eight of the city's tax allocation districts, or TADs, just days after the City Council punted the proposal into next year. In October, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens announced a major plan for his second term to extend the tax districts and use more than $5 billion in potential investments to "balance" Atlanta's ongoing development. But the fast-moving plan ruffled feathers. Some argued the TADs have served their purpose and don't need to be renewed, while outspoken critics like Councilmember-elect Kelsea Bond have called the mechanism a "gentrification engine" for spots like the Beltline and Atlantic Station. Several public leaders urged the city to look at each TAD individually, rather than extend all eight at once....

37+ min ago (255+ words) Heading into the MLB Draft Lottery, the Atlanta Braves were in a very strong position to land a top pick in the 2026 MLB Draft. They had the sixth-best odds of getting the first overall pick (though those odds were still less than 5%) and the extra pick they got from Drake Baldwin's ROY win meant that no matter how the lottery went, Atlanta would have plenty of draft bonus pool money to play with. Still, it sure would be nice to move up into the top five or snag the first overall. This 2026 draft class is shaping up to be very good for shortstop-needy teams at the top of the draft with UCLA's Roch Cholowsky being the prize of the bunch. If you want to get a really good shortstop prospect, you are going to want to draft high this year....

38+ min ago (167+ words) Ahead of the league's winter meetings, the Atlanta Braves were included in an exciting rumor that had Atlanta among Byron Buxton's potential landing spots. It s For the move to once again become a possibility, Buxton would need to demand a trade or force his way out of Minnesota. This cannot be completely ruled out after the Twins' 2025 trade deadline teardown that made it clear contention anytime soon isn't on the table. For Braves fans, it is a frustrating reality for a team that badly needs to make a blockbuster move or two this offseason. It seems that the Twins aren't going to part ways with the outfielder if the star is willing to return to Minnesota for another season. This seemingly ruins any hopes of Atlanta making the move, though it does point to the obvious prototype of what…...

Kayla Adeboye said there were a number of red flags during the one-hour phone call on Saturday morning, but the scammers had an answer for everything, and she says AI is taking these calls to another level.
