Mayor Dickens: Water breaks ‘not my fault, but it is my problem’

Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens joined the show after lifting the boil water advisory for the city. The announcement comes after water main breaks plagued Atlanta for days. He addresses critics who say he waited far too long to communicate to businesses and residents about the extent of the problem and how the city was moving to repair it. And he speaks to the need for finding billions of dollars to rebuild much of the decaying water infrastructure. 

Then, Former Georgia Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan joins the podcast to discuss his AJC essay calling on Republicans to use the criminal conviction of Donald Trump to reject his bid for the White House. 

 

Plus, Atlanta immigration attorney Charles Kuck looks at whether President Biden’s new executive order limiting the number of immigrants who can apply for asylum will be effective.
