New law allows hunters to wear a new safety color in Georgia
House Bill 167 was signed into law by Gov. Brian Kemp on Friday.
HB 167 allows Georgia hunters to wear fluorescent pink as an outer safety garment, if they'd rather opt out of the typical orange.
When hunting deer, boar or bears, Georgia requires hunters and those accompanying hunters to wear daylight fluorescent orange, or fluorescent pink, during firearm seasons.
The clothing still has to be worn above the waistline and has to be at least 500 square inches of the fluorescent colors. This includes head coverings.

Senator Jason Esteves wants to be the next Democratic governor, and win Savannah's vote
Georgia Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate and Senator Jason Esteves arrived at Hotel Indigo at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 2 for an open meet-and-greet with a modest crowd of about 30 people. 'Democrats can win in Georgia,' said a lively Esteves to the room, which reciprocated with murmurs of approval. 'Democrats will win in Georgia.' In a state led by sitting Republican Governor Brian Kemp that swung back to red in the 2024 presidential election, in a country with a Republican-majority House and Senate, it's an optimistic battle cry on behalf of the Democratic Party. And 41-year-old Esteves himself is a relatively fresh face among two potential other Democratic candidates, including two-time state Representative Derrick Jackson and former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms. But his strategy seems to be keeping his messaging simple, in a universal promise that may appeal to both sides of the aisle. 'We win by going across this state, not just in blue cities and blue counties, but red towns and red counties too,' he said. 'By talking to people about how we are going to keep and grow the money in their pocket.' Big promises for small businesses Esteves wears hats that may position him well to a variety of voters. He is a lawyer, business owner of an urgent care and two breakfast restaurants and a former middle school social science public school teacher. Still, his political stint has been a relatively recent endeavor as the state Democratic Party treasurer since 2019, and the District 35 Senator since 2023, representing Douglas and parts of Fulton County. Still, Esteves was confident enough to throw in the first Democratic chip for governor in April. And it appears that the new kid can also throw some punches. 'We deserve to have a governor that is going to invest as much in our small businesses as our governor today invests in a company like Hyundai,' said Esteves. Earlier in the day, Esteves spoke at a Black Business Expo panel in downtown Savannah. Whether the subject remained fresh on his mind, or he did intend to focus on it, small businesses owners were a cornerstone of his informal talk. 'He speaks the language,' said Brandon Campbell owner of B. Campbell, a custom suit company in Savannah since 2023. 'He doesn't just support mine, but any small business.' 'We don't get the back-end help or push the major companies get,' said Tajuan Brantley, owner of TB Fitness in Savannah for the past eight years. But listening to Esteves convinces Brantley that help will come. All paths lead to a fight in Washington Still, it's not just small business owners that Esteves hopes to win over. In response to a question about how to appeal to red counties, he boiled it down to three fairly lofty goals. 'When they meet me, and they see that I'm laser-focused on economic issues, laser focused on building a world-class healthcare system, a world-class education system, a lot of these folks have issues with that too,' he responded. 'We need a governor that's going to address the issues that have been plaguing Georgia for decades, long before Donald Trump was our president." Still, this doesn't mean he doesn't have a bone to pick with the current administration, and one of those bones is worth $119 million. Included in his promise to grow Georgians' pockets is seeing through the millions of dollars in federal aid for afflicted residents after Hurricane Helene that have still not been distributed nearly a year later—a frustration he expressed in an interview with Atlanta Journal Constitution podcast "Politically Georgia" in May. When asked how he might get back some of that federal money, 'we have to not be afraid to call out Washington, D.C. for what they're doing in Georgia,' Esteves said. The current "Republican governor is not saying a thing... I'm going to make sure that we have a governor that's going to fight the administration.' What Esteves wants for Savannah On Sunday, Aug. 3, Esteves will visit two local Savannah churches and attend another meet-and-greet at 4 p.m. at the The 5 Spot Sandfly at 7360 Skidaway Rd. If elected governor, Esteves' plans to ensure Savannah's residents can continue to live where they work. 'The coast has experienced significant growth, and it has beared the burden of keeping up with that growth,' said Esteves. Alleviating that burden means providing enough jobs that keep kids out of trouble, building infrastructure that can withstand flooding and climate change impacts, and providing affordable housing amid rapid development, he added. As for a nearby major developer's parking lot, he said he detests seeing license plates belonging nearly every other state but Georgia. 'We need a governor that's going to enforce the agreements that we have with Hyundai,' said Esteves, including those that promised hiring local contractors. 'Right now we have a governor that's putting business first instead of the people of the state.' The Georgia gubernatorial race will take place Nov. 3, 2026. The primary election for Governor of Georgia will take place on May 19, 2026. Jillian Magtoto covers climate change and the environment in coastal Georgia.

Pardons, positions and power: Trump's donor list raises questions about pay-for-access in his administration
A new financial disclosure from a super PAC supporting President Donald Trump contains the name of the deep-pocket donors who have gained access to the White House. MAGA Inc.'s donor list includes Trump appointees, a mom who managed to get Trump to pardon her son, and cryptocurrency traders, according to a new report by the New York Times. The super PAC managed to pull some major donations for the president; according to the disclosure, MAGA Inc. raised more than $177 million for Trump since January. Some names on the list wound up working for Trump in his administration. Anjani Sinha, a friend of Trump's, was nominated to be the ambassador to Singapore. He donated $1 million to MAGA Inc. He hasn't been approved for the position yet, possibly because he struggled to answer questions about Singapore during his confirmation hearing. Cody Campbell, who is now on Trump's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, donated half a million dollars to the super PAC. Josh Lobel, now sitting on Trump's Intelligence Advisory Board, donated $250,000. Several major donors are tied to the crypto industry, which has by and large found a friendly ally in Trump. According to the Times, Trump's inaugural committee raised an enormous $239 million, with approximately $18 million of that coming from crypto-related donors. According to the filing, donors working in cryptocurrencies accounted for $45 million of the donations reported through MAGA Inc. One donor alone — crypto entrepreneur Eric Schiermeyer — donated $1 million, and was given the chance to have dinner with Trump in Mar-a-Lago in March. The pair didn't just eat and chat — during the dinner, Schiermeyer apparently pitched Trump on an idea for a cryptocurrency called the "USA Token" that would be doled out to Americans for use in transactions. He reportedly wanted a government contract for his company to handle the task, according to the Times' reporting. He told the paper that he managed to get his idea in front of Trump face-to-face, so he considers it a win. 'I was able to say my piece, and the idea is clearly making the rounds, so mission accomplished from my view.' he told the Times. And then there's Elizabeth Fago, who handed over $1 million to MAGA Inc. and got herself a dinner with Trump. Three weeks later, her son, Paul Walczak, who pleaded guilty to tax fraud, was pardoned. A White House spokesperson who talked to the Times anonymously said that Fago's words, rather than her cash, convinced the president to give her son a break. 'He spoke directly to a mother who pleaded for her son, and when you're talking to a mother pleading for her son, that's a pretty powerful thing,' the source reportedly said. The Independent has requested comment from The White House. According to MAGA Inc., all of the apparent benefits that come along with shoveling money at Trump are just a coincidence. It told the Times that Trump doesn't treat donors any different from normal Americans. 'President Trump values his supporters and donors, but unlike politicians before him, he cannot be bought and works toward the best interest of the country,' it told the paper.
