Welcome to your Paulding County News Podcast with your hosts Melissa Carter and Doug Harding. In this episode, we're diving into the hustle and bustle of holiday travel and offering some handy tips for those of you flying this season. We've got a bizarre story about why certain items are being pulled from British supermarket shelves, and it's not what you'd expect.
We kick things off with some local news. Governor Brian Kemp has announced a substantial one-time retention pay supplement for over 300,000 state employees, educators, and school staff. We discuss the implications of this bonus and how it aims to address the recent drop in teacher retention in our state.
From across the pond, we bring you an unusual story about why baked beans are being recalled in the UK, and it's not for reasons you might think.
In our events section, we've got all the details on the Holiday Toy Drive happening now, Wine Down Wednesday at Vintage Wine Bar, and the upcoming Karaoke Night at Buffalo's Cafe.
For our interview segment, we're joined by Missy Cusack from Chattahoochee Tech. She shares insights on a recent report suggesting that technical colleges are seeing an increase in enrollment due to more trade job availability.
And finally, in sports, we have updates on UGA's Carson Beck and Smael Mondon, as well as local runners Luke Brand and Addie Bolivar.
