Hey folks — I owe you an explanation, and you deserve one.
I know it's been a couple of weeks since you've heard from me, and I want to be upfront about why. A lot has happened in a short amount of time, and none of it was planned.
First, the big one: I was involved in an incident at work. Someone attacked me while I was on the job. I'm not going to go into every detail right now, but I want you to know — we are actively searching for the individual responsible, and once he is located, charges will be pressed. I'm okay, but something like that takes a toll, physically and mentally, and it set me back more than I expected.
On top of that, I've been fighting a pretty relentless toothache that's made it hard to focus on much of anything. Between recovering from the attack and dealing with that kind of constant pain, sitting down to write and report just wasn't something I was in a position to do — and I'd rather be honest with you about that than push out half-baked work.
I appreciate your patience more than I can say.
Now, here's the good news: I'm getting back into things. New content is coming, and I'm fired up about what's ahead.
But first — tune in TONIGHT.
Before I even get into everything that's coming, I want to make sure you don't miss what's happening this evening. Tonight on Chatting It Up with CJ, I'll be sitting down with Vernon Jones, candidate for Secretary of State of Georgia, for a live interview. We go live at 6:45 PM on both my Facebook and YouTube channels. You don't want to miss this one — set a reminder and join us.
I'll be taking a short vacation toward the end of this week — something I genuinely need — but when I'm back, we're hitting the ground running.
Here's what I'm working on:
The City's Budget. I've been digging into the numbers and there's a lot to unpack for Conyers residents. You deserve to know exactly how your tax dollars are being spent, and I intend to tell you.
Data Centers. Regular readers know I've been tracking what's happening in Rockdale County with data center development. There's more to report, and I'll be bringing you new coverage on that front soon.
As always, this outlet exists because of your support and your trust. I don't take either lightly — especially during stretches like this one. Thank you for sticking with me.
More soon. I mean that.
