• Used car sale sparks dispute over $3,295 warranty and texts after complaints (atlantanewsfirst.com) — A Newnan used-car buyer says she’s stuck paying for a Lexus she can’t legally drive after a downtown dealership allegedly sold it without emissions, title, or a valid warranty. State regulators and the lender are now involved, and Newnan police were called when reporters questioned the co-owner, raising broader concerns for anyone shopping local car lots. 
• Georgia REALTORS Recognizes Three Legislators as 2026 REALTOR Champions (savannahceo.com) — Newnan’s own state senator Matt Brass is being honored by Georgia REALTORS as a 2026 “REALTOR Champion” for leading a major overhaul of homeowners association rules. Alongside two other legislators, he’s credited with strengthening protections for homeowners, curbing predatory real estate practices, and pushing for fairer property taxes and broader housing options statewide.
• Dolly Parton's film legacy has deep roots in Georgia (wsbtv.com) — Newnan briefly shares the spotlight in Dolly Parton’s film career, as her 2012 movie “Joyful Noise” used the city as one of several Georgia shooting locations.
