It's Thursday...One more day until Friday...Here's the news...

Tax season is over, and many people around Georgia celebrated with multiple "tea parties" last night. SWGA Politics has a review of what happened in southwest Georgia, Macon.com has this report on late tax filers, and The Other Athens weighs on what took place in the Classic City.

As if that wasn't enough, close to four hundred people showed up at the "tea party" in Macon yestreday, showing their displeasure over paying increased taxes. Lucid Idiocy has this summary on what happened in middle Georgia.

Scratch one candidate from the governor's race. Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle announced yesterday he wouldn't run for Georgia's top post. He cited health issues as the reason for withdrawing his nomination. The announcement comes as early polls showed Cagle leading in the Republican primary.
