Study committee continuing to look at private water system regulation | Georgia
SUMMARY: A Georgia House study committee will meet this week to discuss regulating private water systems in the state. Rep. Trey Rhodes introduced a bill that would grant the Public Service Commission oversight of these systems. Residents have reported high tap fees, such as one individual who paid $50,000 for a water and sewer tap. However, committee members heard that regulation might not lower rates. Public Service Commissioner Jason Shaw explained that a regulated model ensures fair returns for private companies, which could potentially lead to higher rates due to investments, depreciation, and taxes. The meeting is open for livestream.

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.
