The Tragedy of Rudy Giuliani

The tragedy of Rudy Giuliani continues to escalate with last week’s jury award of $148 million in a defamation suit brought by two Georgia election workers. What a long, strange decline it’s been for the former mayor who rescued New York City from a previous era of progressive decline. The eight-member Washington, D.C., jury awarded the two election workers three times more than the $48 million they sought, and that is likely to be reduced by the trial judge or an appellate court.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Georgia’s Flat Tax Advances – WSJ

State governments aren’t known to run ahead of schedule, but Georgia lawmakers plan to deliver early on a promised tax cut. The acceleration is made possible by another state budget surplus. As Gov. Brian Kemp put it, “this is what happens when you budget conservatively.”The Governor announced the updated tax cuts Monday to set the agenda for the coming legislative session. The new proposal would enact a flat income-tax rate of 5.39% beginning next year, a leap forward from the state’s current six brackets and 5.75% top rate. Legislative leaders endorsed the reform and plan to vote next month to postdate the new rate to Jan. 1.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

Rudy Giuliani, Hard Up for Cash, Lands a New Georgia Lawyer

Nov. 24, 2023 11:00 am ETATLANTA—After nearly two months without legal representation amid dwindling finances, Rudy Giuliani has a lawyer in Georgia. L. Allyn Stockton Jr., who made his first court appearance for Giuliani last week, isn’t well-known outside of North Georgia. Perhaps his biggest claim to fame was a 2015 appearance before a congressional panel looking into a bear-hunting sting carried out by authorities along the Georgia-North Carolina border.

Major Mea Culpa From MLB

Will Rob Manfred apologize to the state of Georgia and its citizens? The commissioner of Major League Baseball announced Thursday that the annual All-Star Game will be held in Atlanta in 2025, two years after he moved the game from the city because of a controversial election law.What’s changed? Not the bulk of the law, the Election Integrity Act of 2021, which tightened up vote-by-mail and voter ID rules. Mr. Manfred at the time bowed to Democratic Party and media distortions about the law, which President Biden infamously called “Jim Crow 2.0.” Stacey Abrams, who had lost to Gov. Brian Kemp in 2018 but had refused in Donald Trump fashion to accept the result, also played the race card.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
