PolitiFact Georgia Checks Politicians, Sets Record Straight
Politicians and other public figures often make head-turning statements. Take Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and a recent speech he made before the Commerce Club. Reed said the Peachtree-Pine Homeless Shelter is directly linked to the spread of tuberculosis. True or false?
Or how about the estimates of the economic impact of the movie business in Georgia. Gov. Nathan Deal and the State Department of Economic Development have put the figure as high as $6 billion. True or false?
What about the warning this summer that kissing chickens can spread salmonella? Is that true or false?
That’s where PolitiFact Georgia comes in. Editor Jim Tharpe helps set the record straight on these statements and more on “Closer Look.”
