The council also approved a resolution for a second tranche of $93.4 million general obligation bonds to fund public projects + a paid-parking ordinance limiting fees to $5 per hour, with bond sales set to start on June 23 and close on July 15.

Refugee advocates in metro Atlanta say the federal government will end temporary protections for Afghan refugees whose status expires May 20, putting over 2,000 people at risk of deportation after fleeing following the U.S. withdrawal, while officials argue that Afghanistan’s improving economy & security justify the decision. Critics warn that this move may betray those who risked their lives alongside U.S. forces.
