Hantavirus Watch: WHO says more cases are likely after the cruise outbreak, but there’s still “no sign” of a wider global wave—while Georgia remains among states monitoring possible exposures and officials stress the public risk is very low. Metro Atlanta Politics: Gov. Kemp signed House Bill 369 making many local races nonpartisan in five counties (Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Clayton), drawing immediate backlash from Fulton and DeKalb district attorneys who call it unconstitutional and accuse Republicans of hiding party power. Campaign Security: Brad Raffensperger’s rally in Georgia faced a credible bomb threat, with law enforcement investigating and the campaign saying it won’t stop the fight. Gas Tax Fight: Trump is pushing to suspend the federal gas tax to ease pump prices, but analysts warn it could mean less road funding and smaller savings than drivers expect. State Budget: Kemp signed the FY27 budget, trimming $300 million in new spending after tax cuts left a major revenue gap.
