The Athens-Clarke County Commission is set to vote tomorrow to revive a mask mandate as UGA students near a return to classrooms. It would become the third major city in Georgia to reimpose face covering requirements after Atlanta & Savannah announced mask rules last week. #gapol
Athens-Clarke Mayor Kelly Girtz says he’ll also simultaneously recommend a partnership with the state public health department for a cash incentive program to encourage more younger people to get vaccinated as they return to town. #gapol

More jolt: Democratic state Sen. @elenaparent is considering a run for lieutenant governor. Two other state legislators - both from the House - are already in the race. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
More jolt: The curious case of the little known down-ticket candidate who reported raising $318k in contributions — and said virtually all of it was raised by small dollar contributions he doesn’t have to itemize. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…

Rep. Greene: “I have made a mistake and it’s really bothered me for a couple of weeks now. And so I definitely want to own it ... The Holocaust is — there’s nothing comparable to it. It happened and, you know, over 6 million Jewish people were murdered.”
Backstory: Greene’s Holocaust comparisons draw rebuke from GOP leaders #gapol ajc.com/politics/green…
Contrast her remarks today with what she said at a town hall in Dalton on May 28 when she expressed no contrition and continued the comparison.
“You know, Nazis were the National Socialist Party,” she said. “Just like the Democrats are now a National Socialist Party.” #gapol

‘The time for mandates is over.' @GovKemp to restrict Georgia’s public schools from requiring masks #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
@GovKemp “This is nothing more than a political stunt at a time when Georgians deserve real leadership to help us emerge from the pandemic,” said @jasonesteves, chair of the @apsupdate school board. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
