While most of Cobb County's incorporated cities experienced growth over the last three years, one saw a population loss. The cities of Austell, Kennesaw, Marietta, Powder Springs and Smyrna all experienced population growth from 2020 to 2024. But Acworth, or at least the specific area within the city's incorporated limits, saw a small population decrease.

About 80 people overtook Aurora’s City Council meeting Monday, causing the mayor to recess the meeting three times in an effort to bring about order. The council then agreed to extend public invited to be heard beyond the one-hour time limit. The speakers showed up to chide the City Council for not punishing the officer that shot and killed Kilyn Lewis. Lewis was a suspect in a crime which is why police approached him. Body camera footage released by the Aurora Police Department showed Lewis did not have a gun and repeatedly yelled “I don’t have nothing!” with his hands in the air. Despite this, officer Michael Dieck killed him with a single shot from his rifle. Lewis never had more than a cell phone in his hand, the video showed.

Denver, CO

The Denver City Council voted Monday to spend $5 million to shuffle 250 homeless people from the street directly into leased housing. The contract goes to Housing Connector, which has experience in such matters, according to a memo from city staff to the City Council. Extra money is included in the contract for things such as unexpected repairs, said Midori Higa of the Department of Housing Stability. She said if someone has a bad day and breaks a window, a replacement will be covered.

Jacksonville, FL

Jacksonville Today

This week, City Council is set to begin discussing the proposed deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars to renovate EverBank Stadium. At its center is the agreement for a $1.4 billion stadium overhaul, the cost of which would be split 50-50 with the Jags after the city also covers $150 million in overdue maintenance and repair work. The city has said it plans to pay for its $625 million construction portion, for the most part, by redirecting revenue from a half-penny sales tax, passed as “the Better Jacksonville Plan.” But it’s not a straight line from the tax revenue pot to getting cranes in the air — the plan depends on budget changes to avoid debt on other projects, and using money that would have gone toward paying down that debt on the stadium reno.

Backlash to LGBTQ+ progress has increased substantially in Pennsylvania and across the U.S. in recent years. From attacks on LGBTQ inclusion in public schools and threats against drag queen story hours to mounting anti-LGBTQ legislation, right-wing extremists have used disinformation and conspiracies to try to erode the rights and liberties and even safety of queer and trans Americans.

As Anti-LGBTQ Backlash Grows, Advocates Say There Is ‘Hope’ In Action

The Denver City Council could decide to ask voters whether to remove the requirement that police and fire officials in the city be U.S. citizens. The Finance and Governance Committee will consider a bill Tuesday sponsored by Council President Jamie Torres and council member Amanda Sandoval. In an email to the author of this article, Torres said the Denver Sheriff’s Department already has made the switch to allow non-citizens. “In 2018, the Department of Justice found that the Denver Sheriff’s department was in violation of federal law when they required all applicants to be U.S. citizens. They have since changed their policy and now allow anyone with legal status to apply.”
