I-Team: Woman takes Atlanta to court over water bill
SUMMARY: A property owner is suing the Atlanta Department of Watershed Management over an $81,000 water bill for a vacant building without running water. The owner, Gil Map, inherited the property, which has been uninhabitable for 15 years and tied to unexplained high usage charges. Despite repeated plumbing checks revealing no leaks, enormous bills piled up after a meter replacement in late 2022. The city contends the meter is accurate, yet no substantial evidence supports their claims. Previous similar cases have led to court hearings without resolutions, reflecting ongoing frustrations with the city’s appeals process. The judge’s decision is pending.

Supreme Court of Georgia says strip club tax is constitutional | Georgia
SUMMARY: The Georgia Supreme Court ruled that a tax on strip clubs, intended to fund assistance for child sexual exploitation victims, is constitutional. Approved by voters, the tax is collected by the Safe Harbor Commission for trafficking awareness and victim support. The Georgia Association of Club Executives contested the tax, claiming it violated the First Amendment as a “content-based tax.” However, Justice Nels S.D. Peterson stated that the tax is less burdensome than others upheld by courts and does not prohibit nude dancing. Dissenting Justice Sarah Hawkins Warren argued the tax is not a lawful exercise of authority despite recognizing child exploitation as a societal issue.
