State Government Reform – In 2003 Governor Perdue formed the Commission for a New Georgia as an innovative public-private partnership to create breakthrough ideas to help Georgia grow and to make Georgians healthier, safer, and more educated. The Commission gives Georgians from state government, the private sector, and academia the opportunity to lend their expertise in the areas of policy development and governmental operations. Lonice Barrett is the man in charge of implementing the ideas that come from the Commission. He joins us for a progress report.

White Flight – During the civil rights era, Atlanta thought of itself as "The City Too Busy to Hate," a rare place in the South where the races lived and thrived together. Over the course of the 1960s and 1970s, however, so many whites fled the city for the suburbs that Atlanta earned a new nickname: "The City Too Busy Moving to Hate." In his provocative new book White Flight: Atlanta and the Making of Modern Conservatism, Kevin M. Kruse, Assistant Professor of History at Princeton University, argues that the migration represented a more important transformation in the political ideology of those involved. He joins us to discuss his ideas.
