    “We’re trying to get compensated for the unfair usage of our rent. There are line items for utilities which I’ve been paying for a year and a half since we signed our lease here. To find out that we pay month after month after month and then he turns around and their group turns around and doesn’t pay their utility bills, it makes you ask where the money is actually going?” Starr told Channel 2′s Michele Newell.

    Kohan Retail Investment Group owns Town Center at Cobb. Utility companies in other states confirmed with Newell that the same company has run into similar problems in Kansas, Ohio and Iowa.

    “Towne West Square was disconnected for nonpayment 7 times in the past 12 months. The mall has been owned by Kohan Retail Investment Group during these shutoffs,” said Courtney Lewis, who is the Senior Communications Manger of Media for Energy.

    “I can confirm Ohio Edison had notified Chapel Hill Mall at least twice that electric service was in danger of disconnection because of nonpayment before the mall ultimately closed,” said Hannah Catlett,  Advanced Communications Representative.

    TRENDING STORIES:

    According to the Cobb County Tax Commissioner’s Office, there are currently three tax liens against the property owner for 2024, with more than $1,000,000 in back taxes that were due in October of 2024.

    The Cobb County tax commissioners officers says it reached out to the owner multiple times before officially filing the tax liens and reached out multiple times this year.

    The office said it’s last resort is a tax sale which could happen in May if the back taxes aren’t paid. Between now and May the County tax commissioner said there will be a series of steps her office takes leading to the tax sale, if the owner fails to pay what is owed.

    “I hate that this guy did this, but at the same time I still really want to see this mall succeed,” said Starr.

    “We care about this mall and we are here a lot and to find out that somebody is trying to make a profit off not caring about it really upset us. We’re here today to kind of give what money we can as young adults who don’t make a lot to the small businesses,” said Ezra Morrison.

    Channel 2 Action News first told you Tuesday about the Town Center at Cobb posting signs on the main entrances that it would be closed.

    The mall’s owner claimed a maintenance issue resulted in the closure and that it would be resolved in two hours. However, Channel 2 Action News learned that the mall had “highly delinquent” Georgia Power bills.

    Georgia Power officials told Newell that they have been working with Town Center for several months to resolve the payments and disconnecting service at the mall was a “last resort.”

    The anchor stores, Belk, Macy’s and JCPenney, were able to stay open since they paid their own bills and have separate entrances.

  • House Republicans announce new subcommittee to investigate Jan. 6


    WASHINGTON — House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., announced Wednesday the creation of a new select subcommittee to investigate events before and after Jan. 6, 2021.

    “House Republicans are proud of our work so far in exposing the false narratives peddled by the politically motivated January 6 Select Committee during the 117th Congress, but there is still more work to be done,” Johnson said in a statement.

    The subcommittee’s mission is to “uncover the full truth that is owed to the American people,” Johnson said.

    The speaker didn’t make clear what false narratives he alleges were made by the original select committee.

    Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., will chair the new subcommittee, which will fall under the jurisdiction of the House Judiciary Committee chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.

    Notably, Loudermilk had given a tour of the Capitol to people the day before the insurrection, which included a man who was caught on video, later released by the committee that investigated the attack, making violent verbal threats against top Democratic lawmakers during the attack.

    The rioter who made the threats, Trevor Hallgren, “took pictures of hallways and staircases” during Loudermilk’s tour, according to the final report released by the Jan. 6 select committee.

    In a statement Wednesday, Loudermilk said, “What happened at the Capitol that day was the result of a series of intelligence, security, and leadership failures at multiple levels within numerous entities.”

    The first Jan. 6 committee investigated the Capitol attack as part of a nearly two-year bipartisan inquiry when Democrats controlled the House.

    Before leaving office Monday, Joe Biden issued pre-emptive pardons to all lawmakers and staff members who served on the committee, including its chair, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and vice chair, former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo.

    As chair of the House Administration Committee’s Subcommittee on Oversight, which investigated the select committee in the last Congress, Loudermilk said in a report that the FBI should investigate Cheney for her role on the select committee, saying without evidence that she had likely broken “numerous federal laws.”

    The first select committee held a series of 10 hearings in 2022 that featured testimony from a variety of witnesses who shed light on Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the election and the attack on the Capitol itself.

    More than two years later, Trump pardoned nearly all Jan. 6 defendants on Monday, the first day of his second term.

    Republicans have dismissed or downplayed the events of Jan. 6 in recent years, with some even falsely suggesting that it was actually members of the group antifa who attacked the Capitol. Trump, who was impeached by the House after the attack and indicted by the federal government for his role in trying to overturn the 2020 election, has said that it was a “day of love.”

    The announcement of the subcommittee came hours after Johnson defended Trump’s pardons of Jan. 6 rioters, including violent individuals convicted of assaulting police officers, describing the pardons as an effort to turn the page.

    “We’re not looking backward, we’re looking forward,” Johnson told reporters Wednesday.



    House Republicans have announced the formation of a new subcommittee dedicated to investigating the events of January 6, when a violent mob breached the Capitol building in an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

    The newly formed subcommittee, led by Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, will delve into the circumstances surrounding the attack on the Capitol, including the security failures that allowed the mob to breach the building, the role of social media in organizing the attack, and any potential ties to foreign actors.

    House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy praised the formation of the subcommittee, stating that it is crucial to uncover the truth behind the events of January 6 in order to prevent such an attack from happening again in the future.

    The announcement of the new subcommittee comes as tensions continue to simmer within the Republican party over the events of January 6, with some members downplaying the severity of the attack and others calling for a more thorough investigation. With the formation of this subcommittee, House Republicans are taking a proactive step towards holding those responsible for the attack accountable and ensuring the safety and security of the Capitol moving forward.

    Good Morning CNY: DA Appoints Special Prosecutor to Investigate Death of Inmate

    In a groundbreaking move, the District Attorney has named a special prosecutor to investigate the recent death of an inmate in a local correctional facility. This decision comes in response to mounting pressure from community activists and advocates for criminal justice reform.

    The inmate, who was serving time for a nonviolent offense, was found unresponsive in their cell last week. Initial reports suggested that the death was a result of natural causes, but questions have since been raised about the circumstances surrounding the incident.

    The appointment of a special prosecutor signifies a commitment to transparency and accountability in the investigation process. The DA’s office has pledged to conduct a thorough and impartial inquiry, ensuring that all relevant facts are uncovered and justice is served.

    As we await further developments in this case, it is essential that we continue to demand justice for all individuals who are incarcerated. The safety and well-being of inmates should be a top priority for our criminal justice system, and we must hold those responsible for any wrongdoing accountable.

    Stay tuned for updates on this developing story as we strive to uphold the values of fairness and justice in our community. Good morning, CNY.
