A 24-year-old home health aide is accused of stealing $25K from patients in the metro Atlanta area — investigators say she used the stolen financial data to fund shopping sprees.

Metro Atlanta will host major concerts this summer and fall, including Kesha & Scissor Sisters on August 7 at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre in Alpharetta—showing fans events from rap to rock while other acts like Russ, Chris Brown and Ice Cube add to the lineup—as live music season begins.

The state has improved using both federal and state support — if the cuts are approved, Georgia will need to find its own money to keep studying maternal health.

A recent American Lung Association report shows that metro Atlanta’s air quality has dropped sharply in 2025.

The report rated Atlanta third-worst for smog in the southeast and found failing ozone and particle pollution levels that may increase health risks — policymakers are urged to take steps to improve air quality.
