STORY 2: suit
A Fulton County jury has awarded a $32.5 million verdict against the city of Milton in a wrongful death case. The jury found the city liable for the death of Joshua Chang, who died in a single-car accident in 2016 when his car struck a planter on city property. Chang's parents were awarded the verdict, and they expressed their relief in holding someone accountable for their son's death. The accident occurred when Chang swerved off the road, possibly to avoid hitting an animal or object. Attorneys argued that the planter should not have been in the city right-of-way, and its presence prevented Chang from safely stopping his car. The city has the option to appeal the judgment.

STORY 4: mural
A new mural titled "Unite" has been unveiled at Boling Park's basketball court in Canton. City council members, along with local organizations and artist Rob Walker-Bunda, gathered for a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The project, which began last year, involved selecting Cherokee High School Junior Emily Hamilton's design that symbolizes unity within the community. With the assistance of city staff and Art in the Paint nonprofit, the mural was transferred onto the court. The artwork aims to bring positive energy and revitalize the park. Ongoing maintenance will ensure the mural remains vibrant despite regular use and weather conditions.
