    Jun 21 2024

    From the BG Ad Group Studio this is your news minute on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Today is Friday, June 21st, and I'm Keith Ippolito.

    Bloody Machete and Fingerprint Found in Slain Woman's Apartment

    New details have emerged surrounding the murder of Samantha Woolery. The 42-year-old surgery resident was discovered dead in her apartment last weekend. Police have charged her ex-husband, Mickey Woolery, with multiple crimes including murder.

    Surveillance footage captured Mickey Woolery leaving Samantha's apartment with blood on his hands, feet, and pants. Investigators later found a bloody machete and a fingerprint matching Mickey's right thumb at the scene.

    Marietta Police, working closely with Carmel, Indiana authorities, tracked Mickey to his home state where he attempted to flee but was apprehended. Samantha Woolery, remembered for her kindness and generosity, will be missed by many. A GoFundMe page started by her daughter has already raised over $47,000 for her funeral. Our thoughts are with her family during this difficult time.

All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: CU of GA STORY 1: If Cobb’s Commission Map is Thrown Out, Do Richardson’s Votes Stand? Jerica Richardson's pivotal votes on Cobb County's Board of Commissioners have been contentious due to questions surrounding her eligibility. Richardson's district was redrawn by the Democratic majority using Georgia's home rule powers, a move challenged as unconstitutional by Republicans. This legal uncertainty casts doubt on the validity of her votes and decisions, including approving a transit tax referendum and a housing development. While some legal experts suggest her actions might be protected under the de facto doctrine, which upholds acts performed by officials later found to be improperly elected, the issue remains unresolved. Future court decisions could impact the legality of past votes, potentially leading to significant repercussions for Cobb County's governance. STORY 2: Marietta School Board Passes Budget with Teacher Raises The Marietta Board of Education unanimously approved a $159 million budget for the 2024-25 school year, featuring significant teacher raises while maintaining a flat millage rate of 17.97. The budget allocates $9 million towards salary increases and benefits for staff, reflecting an average 5.3% raise for all teaching personnel. Additional funding includes $150,000 for Science of Reading learning programs, $722,000 for academic support staff, and $225,000 for insurance, maintenance, and transportation expenses. Board members expressed satisfaction with prioritizing employee compensation amidst rising living costs, emphasizing their commitment to supporting staff and maintaining fiscal responsibility. STORY 3: ‘Wild Wild West in Color’ Celebrates Juneteenth with Rodeo In Marietta, Juneteenth celebrations highlighted both the historical emancipation of African-American slaves and the resilience of Black culture. At Jim Miller Park, the Wild Wild West in Color Rodeo and Agriculture Expo drew thousands, featuring Black cowboys, ranchers, and farmers.

The event showcased a rodeo with line dancing, horse riding, and reenactments of famous Black cowboys like Nat Love and Stage Coach Mary, emphasizing their contributions despite historical challenges.
