As plans for Atlanta’s proposed safety training center move forward, opposing voices are being heard.

In this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, AJC political insider Patricia Murphy is joined by local government reporter Riley Bunch to talk about recent protests at City Hall, and the pressure Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens is under to get the project across the finish line.

Plus, Riley gives us an inside look at City Hall, what city council is currently working on, and the relationships between council members and Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens.

We also get an update from political insider Greg Bluestein who is traveling with Governor Brian Kemp for his Georgia trade mission to Israel.

Have a question for Greg and Patricia? Call the 24-hour Politically Georgia Podcast Hotline at (404) 526-AJCP (2527). We’ll play back your question and answer it during the Listener Mailbag segment on next Friday’s episode.
