EVENT WATCH: GEORGIA FORWARD

Former Sen. John Edwards spoke of the Two Americas that divided rich and poor. Lately he's not saying much of anything, but a group of civic and economic leaders (including Colliers? Caldwell Zimmerman) are now talking about the two Georgias. This Wednesday, Aug. 25, leaders from around the state will gather in Macon to discuss issues such as water equity, transportation, and education.
