SUMMARY: The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear Mark Meadows’ appeal to move his Georgia criminal case to federal court. Indicted by a Fulton County Grand Jury, Meadows faces charges of soliciting the violation of oath and conspiracy related to efforts to overturn election results, alongside 18 others, including Trump. Lower courts ruled against Meadows, stating he was not acting as a federal officer, and his actions did not pertain to his official duties. He has pleaded not guilty, and the case is currently on hold as an Appeals Court reviews claims regarding District Attorney Fani Willis’ potential conflict of interest.

SUMMARY: Hurricane Helene caused Georgia’s tax revenues to drop by 3.4% in October, with income tax collections falling by $119.6 million (8.7%) from the previous year. The decline was mainly due to a 36.5% decrease in individual income tax payments and a 47.4% drop in corporate income taxes. Extensions on income tax filing deadlines likely contributed to the revenue decrease. Fuel tax collections rose by $105.6 million (146.1%) due to the 2023 fuel tax suspension. While gross sales and use taxes saw a slight increase, net sales taxes dropped by 1%. Year-to-date tax revenues are down by 0.6%.
