Feel like your Georgia Power bill is high this summer? Here’s why. Georgia Power customers are voicing shock and anger at the costly bills some say they have received this summer.

There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

I'm back to continue screaming into the void!

The Georgia legislature is off to a strong start, introducing policies that struggling families have been demanding for decades!

Georgia GOP expels Geoff Duncan after his support of Kamala Harris The former lieutenant governor angered many in the Georgia GOP for his criticism of President-elect Donald Trump.
