📰 News we're reading

• Coastal Navigator — State ethics board on Bull Street (thecurrentga.org) — Brunswick residents get a handy roundup of upcoming public meetings, including the City Commission and Housing Authority sessions, plus Glynn County Commission and Jekyll Island Authority. The newsletter encourages locals to watch livestreams, verify times, and even snap selfies at meetings as a way to stay engaged with decisions shaping Coastal Georgia communities.
   

• Tax Battle in Legislature, Hand-Count Mandate (thecurrentga.org) — Brunswick is one of only two Coastal Georgia jurisdictions that have filed to let voters consider a new local sales tax aimed at easing homeowner property taxes, but its proposal stalled in the state Senate over the weekend. The broader special legislative session also tackles ballot QR code rules and possible hand-count mandates, changes that could affect how Brunswick residents vote in future elections.
