Hosts Greg Bluestein and Tia Mitchell take listener questions in a new Mailbag Monday edition of Politically Georgia. They dig into the latest developments in the federal government shutdown, how health care subsidies became a flashpoint in Washington, and why some Georgia Republicans and Democrats are finding common ground. Hear producer Natalie Mendenhall’s new reporting on Sandy Springs’ four-way mayoral race, one of the most competitive local contests in the state. Then Greg and Tia discuss what the newest AJC poll reveals about Georgia’s independent voters — and why they could once again decide the state’s political future.
