Rosenberg man faces 4 counts of intoxication manslaughter

Gov. Brian Kemp says Georgia recorded $21.2 billion in state-tracked business investments in the year that ended June 30. The Republican governor says new and expanding companies committed to create 51,000 jobs. Kemp says those are new records, with announced investment nearly double the previous high while announced jobs were nearly 50% higher. Much business investment and many new jobs never get state incentives and aren’t tracked by the state. All the announced investment and jobs may not come to pass. Kemp is touting his achievements as he seeks a second term against Democrat Stacey Abrams.

A Nevada judge has dismissed Republican Joey Gilbert’s lawsuit seeking to overturn his loss to Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo in the Republican gubernatorial primary. Gilbert finished second in the June primary to Lombardo by 11 percentage points, or about 26,000 votes. Gilbert, a lawyer from Reno, was outside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. He was seeking a recount of ballots by hand that he claimed — without any evidence — would result in him winning the GOP nomination, despite a recount he paid for that already affirmed his loss. Lombardo, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, faces Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak in the November general election.
