Grabbing the algae-covered anchor line of politics & trying to hold on in news' rough sea. Frustrating & difficult. I hope a seagull doesn't crap in my eye.

. @CommonCauseGA asks Georgia IG to investigate "consulting" payments to state employees at the @GACharters Schools Commission. Payments are from a state vendor, and thus violate ethics rules. Vendor claims consulting fees aren't gifts. https://t.co/X73Niq00Ca

DWM is now testing water samples from affected areas to ensure quality. The testing takes at least 24-hours. At this time, we anticipate the boil water advisory will be in effect until at least 6 p.m. EST. We will be able to provide an update after the results are available.

2 things to think about re: @staceyabrams win, last night: Millennials who were too young to vote for @BarackObama will come out in November; in 2018, it's finally no longer about White Georgia voters- just Georgia voters.
