Host Greg Bluestein talks with state Sen. Blake Tillery about his campaign for lieutenant governor, his record as Senate Appropriations chair, and his push to eliminate the state income tax. Then producer Natalie Mendenhall sits down with Georgia Behavioral Health Commissioner Kevin Tanner on “988 Day” to discuss the state’s suicide prevention hotline, how it connects Georgians to critical resources, and why awareness of the lifeline has grown dramatically since its launch.
