Political Rewind: Vote on planned Atlanta police training center; Week of state GOP convention

The panel:

Edward Lindsey, State Election Board member and former Atlanta state representative, @edlindsey14

Sen. Kim Jackson, (D) Stone Mountain, @KimforGeorgia

Patricia Murphy, political reporter and columnist, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, @MurphyAJC

Shannon McCaffrey, political reporter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, @shannonajc1

The breakdown:

1. Gov. Brian Kemp takes a direct shot at former President Donald Trump. 

• Kemp criticized Trump for posting a message congratulating Kim Jung Un for being appointed to the World Health Organization executive board.
  • This comes just days before Trump will be the headline speaker at the state GOP convention.
• Kemp, former Vice President Mike Pence and other high-profile Republican leaders are not attending.
  • But some far-right figures including Kandiss Taylor and Kari Lake will attend.

2. Atlanta's City Council to vote on funding for a controversial police training center.

• Extra security is planned for Monday when council members are expected to vote on whether to fund a proposed police training center. 
  • Proponents say a training center is needed.
  • Both environmental and social activists say the city has not been transparent in the process.
• A lease-back agreement for the city could more than double the cost for the training center.
