We'll get in here by tomorrow,
so today we can at least join some,
enjoy some warm temperatures,

Let me show you how the good news is.

then select the MVP or my voter page section.

page and it'll come up for you.

including police accountability and voting.
He plans to help increase voter
turn out for the upcoming elections
and push for more protections.
A voter rights this morning a
warning about fake money that may
turn up on your car windshield.
Several people saw the money and
called the Sheriff's Department so they
put out a warning on social media.
They say that looks like a real $100 bill,
but it is not right now.
They're not sure why somebody's
putting the counterfeits on cars.
If you happen to see it on yours,
please call police today.

The governor's focus today
really on law enforcement.
Yeah, the governor will continue to
put public safety first. This morning.
Cheryl signing legislation last
month he said public safety is the
responsibility of the government.
About a year ago, Governor Kemp
created the Crime Suppression Unit,
which combined capabilities of local and
state law enforcement since last month.
He says they've done 23,600 vehicle stops,
arrested more than 451 persons,
and found more than 300 stolen
or missing weapons.
The governor says law enforcement
officers are on the front lines.
Every day,
going above and beyond to keep us safe,
he's expected to sign that
legislation in just about 2 hours.
As for the details of what's inside
that Bill still working to learn
that? Cheryl alright. Thank you Molly.
