the city of atlanta has seen a 60% increase in crime in 2021, the deadliest year in decades.ing westbound neighborhood to consider a new option. buckhead is currently considering a proposal to become its own municipality, one where supporters say they can control their own tax dollars and better protect themselves. joining me now is howard shook, a member of the atlanta city council who represents some of buckhead. thank you for being here, councilman. tell me where you stand on this. >> the pro-secession group is have been a dialogue. their stated goal is, within a year or two, to put this on a referendum for a vote, so a lot will have to happen tonal there. i'm a member of the atlanta city council my job in this case, to make sure the citizens, if they are going to vote, and i'm going to do what i can to make sure the information put out there to study is comprehensive and valid. >> so at this point you want to make sure there's information for people to be educated about it. >> yeah. the big question is no one knows what this will cost, you know, would-be citizens of buckh

and when bostic, who's over there at the, the atlanta branch of the, of the fed, right. he is openly, you know, prevaricating. how do you like that for an ivy league word? well, if i didn't say he was lying, did i? it was prevaricating. yeah, that's called fed speak, right. so you mentioned expectations and this is something that we've also been covering is that the mindset once the mindset changes, it's hard to put it back where they believe it belongs. right? so part of the reason why, you know, the fed and their academics in their ivory towers thought the inflation would be transitory, is that the higher prices would pull in more supply a manufacturers or start manufacturing more stuff. suppliers would start supplying more stuff, but that hasn't happened. and part of it is to do with at the same time as bostic at the atlanta fed is saying that temporary inflation looks like it's going to be a little bit more permanent than we thought. well, the feds, powell said, enhanced unemployment benefits may be a factor and limiting job growth. not only did workers get all these

let's go to the electric journal -- they atlanta journal constitution. reporter: hi.here are seven pending lawsuits in georgia against s.b. 202. how is the federal lawsuit different? what do you think the doj brings to the table with these other actions pending? mr. garland: we said in the complaint, you'll see it's quite detailed exactly the provisions that we're filing with respect to -- with respect to the relationship to the other lawsuits, i'll let the assistant attorney general for civil rights answer. >> the civil rights division carefully follows the law and here, that is what we did. we looked carefully at the georgia law and determined there's an important federal interest to protect here. that is ensuring that eligible voters enjoy equal access to the ballot, regardless of race. we will continue to do just that. we will continue to analyze other laws that may be passed across the country. we'll follow the facts and the law, we'll look at these laws carefully, and where we determine that there may be a potential violation of the voting rights act, or another

they are saying we want to split away from atlanta.e talking about a 63% in treason murder and assaults are up about one third. we are seeing local parent thing we do want to have anything to dore with the cities. >> that's exactly right and when you talk about public safety the year-over-year crime increases and we have seen it in atlanta and the other in understaffed resources atlanta police department has. it'ses no wonder a suburb like bucket wants to break away and have own police department but if republicans take back the house in 2022 it's going to be largely because public safety and the fact that democrats. particularly in these major cities have turned a blind eye. just so we are clear out of the 50 states only 27 have a republican governor and believe it or not the top 30 cities in this country only three have republican mayors. you will continue to see this jostling between public -- republican and democratic policies. liz: the double whammy lockdown policies and defunding the police near singer wisconsin republican legisl
