SUMMARY: The Atlantic Beach Municipal Election Commission addressed ongoing issues from the November 2023 election. Carla Taylor won a Town Council seat, but Shan Swinson protested the results. After a court ruling, Taylor was seated, but the town’s interim attorney, Dwayne Green, appealed the decision. Today, the commission voted to withdraw the appeal, solidifying Taylor’s position. The town council also fired Green. Additionally, Judge William Seals called for a new mayoral election between John David and Josephine, which could take place in February. The commission aims to move forward from these challenges.

Atlantic Beach Town Council voted to withdraw an appeal that is pending from the town’s former attorney, Dwayne Green.

This appeal was filed after Judge William Seals ordered to uphold town councilwoman Carla Taylor’s seat on the council from the November 2023 election.

SUMMARY: A deadly Listeria outbreak linked to ready-to-eat meat has resulted in the deaths of two infants in California, with nine others hospitalized. The CDC is investigating the outbreak, and the USDA has recalled 72,000 pounds of contaminated meat products across four states. This follows several other foodborne illness outbreaks, including Listeria-tainted deli meat, E. coli in McDonald’s onions, and contaminated organic carrots. Experts stress the importance of food safety and sanitation to prevent such outbreaks, urging consumers to dispose of recalled products and sanitize their refrigerators.

SUMMARY: This month, states and private organizations requested the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn a district court’s decision permitting the Biden administration’s expanded Title IX rules, which include gender identity in sex discrimination laws. Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina seek a preliminary injunction against the Department of Education, arguing they are similarly situated to states already granted relief. The Department contends that noncontroversial aspects of the rule should go into effect. Legal battles have blocked the implementation of the rule in over half of the states and many educational institutions, delaying enforcement amid ongoing litigation.

SUMMARY: In a poignant statement to the committee, a father advocated against the release of his children’s mother, who is serving a life sentence for their deaths. Reflecting on the lasting emotional trauma, he expressed that her actions were intentional and that she had never shown remorse. The father, who revealed that the grief led him to contemplate suicide, argued that the 30-year sentence was insufficient, given the severity of the crime. He pleaded for the committee to deny her release, vowing to attend future hearings to ensure justice for his children.

David Smith, the father of 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alexander, spoke in opposition at the parole hearing for his ex-wife Susan Smith, who murdered the two boys in 1994.
