Welcome to The Local Option podcast! We are joined this week by Megan Gordon who is has been trying to help protect one of Georgia's most historic communities.

Megan, a Policy Manager for the Georgia Chapter of the Center for American-Islamic Relations, has been in McIntosh County the last few weeks fighting rezoning proposals that would have a devastating impact on the Gullah Geechee residents of Hog Hammock.

Then, Dana and Preston recap a heated week at the Fulton County Commission that once again centered around the Fulton County Jail.
