Monday on “Closer Look with Rose Scott”:

• 0:00: Rose gives a news brief about how a federal district court judge will hear arguments today from the city of Stockbridge. The city’s trying to stop a vote that could create a new city, known as Eagle’s Landing. That vote will come in the form of a referendum Nov. 6. Only those residents who live in the proposed new city limits of Eagle’s Landing will be able to vote.
• In other news, the express lanes that opened just a few weeks ago on I-75 and I-575 in Cobb and Cherokee Counties are no longer free of charge. Over the weekend, the Georgia Department of Transportation turned on the tolls for the lanes. The minimum toll rate for drivers with a Peach Pass is 10 cents per mile, but those tolls could increase based on driver demand.
• 2:11: Mundo Hispánico has been a newspaper for 40 years but a few years ago became a national digital platform with a very strong presence and followers in the digital world.

Rene Alegria, president and CEO of the new Mundo Hispánico Digital Network, and Judith Martinez, senior content marketing manager for Mundo Hispánico, join us in studio.
