This week the WABE news team explores top stories like the MARTA Board of Directors choosing Interim GM and CEO Jonathan Hunt to take over permanently. We also look into the nation’s largest credit bureau, Atlanta-based Equifax, agreeing to settle a class action lawsuit for $100 million.
And the Trump administration’s plans to levy new tariffs on the key ingredient in solar panels beginning later this year is expected to help U.S. solar makers, including Qells, which recently expanded production at its two giant factories in Georgia.
