ATLANTA (AP) — Gov. Nathan Deal has signed legislation ratifying a freeze in the state's gas tax that took effect July 1. The bill had passed during a special session of the state Legislature last month. Deal had issued an executive order in June halting an automatic increase linked to rising fuel prices, but he needed lawmakers to also sign off. The state gas tax had been set to rise 1.6 cents a gallon, as a result of a formula. It stayed instead at 12.9 cents a gallon, rather than rising to 14.5 cents a gallon. Deal aides say it's saving motorists an estimated $40 million in taxes. Deal also signed 47 pieces of local legislation dealing with individual elections districts, boards of education and county commissions.

Prevent Child Abuse Gordon County received a donation of baby supplies from a 2nd and 3rd grade Calhoun Elementary Brownie troop. The girls had a Pajama Day at school to raise money for this project. They went to Wal-Mart and used their math skills to determine what they could purchase. They were able to purchase 21 packages of wipes, 11 packages of diapers, two containers of formula and 10 baby bibs to be given to participants in the Healthy Families and Parents as Teachers home-visitation programs of Prevent Child Abuse Gordon County.
