SCCPSS: Changes that could come if ESPLOST passes
SUMMARY: In March, voters in Chatham County will have the opportunity to influence the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS) through a ballot initiative for the Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (ESPLOST).

SUMMARY: In Marietta, a car dealership was targeted by three thieves who tricked a worker into handing over the keys to a white Mercedes CLS. The incident, captured on clear surveillance video, occurred when the sales manager was out on a test drive.
