Net sales tax receipts decreased by 1%, while corporate income taxes saw a significant 47.4% decline, with reduced payments and increased refunds.

Each finalist exemplifies dedication to education, focusing on student engagement, equity, and leadership.

    GDP Script/ Top Stories for November 8th Publish Date: November 8th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Friday, November 8th and Happy Birthday to Margaret Mitchel. 11.08.24 - BIRTHDAY – MARGARET MITCHELL*** I’m Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. 1.

Witherspoon, a former point guard for Berkmar's first state championship team, was hired in late summer. Principal Durrant Williams emphasized the hire as a "family" decision, valuing Witherspoon's deep ties to the school. Witherspoon, who previously coached at Walnut Grove, is excited to return and aims to re-engage alumni and instill a winning culture in a young team. His staff includes former assistants and his brother, Wesley. The community is eager to support Witherspoon's vision for the program. STORY 2: Gwinnett Educators Nominated As Hidden Heroes The Hidden Heroes nonprofit campaign, run by the Georgia Leadership Institute for School Improvement, recognizes impactful educators. In its fifth year, the campaign features four Gwinnett-based nominees: Cassie Bro, Yasirah Powers-Kouassi, Jamil Matthews, and Alexandra Schlechte.

What We Know In the new city of Mulberry, four out of five City Council races were decided in a special election, with a runoff needed for District 5 between Doug Ingram and Michele Y. Sims. Ingram received 40.65% of the vote, while Sims got 33.97%. Incoming council members Tim Sullivan, Michael Coker, Kyle Shields, and Michael Rudnick won decisively, with Sullivan, Coker, and Rudnick securing over 70% of the votes in their respective districts.

STORY 5: Charitable giving part of end-of-year tax decisions As 2024 ends, many consider donating to charities for tax benefits. Dr. Benjamin Akins from Georgia Gwinnett College explains that while most people use the standard IRS deduction, itemizers can benefit more by donating, especially if their income rises due to bonuses or required minimum distributions from retirement accounts. Donor-advised funds (DAFs) offer a flexible way to donate and claim deductions. Donating appreciated stocks or property can also provide tax advantages. Akins advises verifying a charity's tax-deductible status and keeping records for deductions. He has extensive experience in tax law and nonprofit policy.
