The “Georgia Politics” panel discusses Atlanta’s ongoing water crisis.

“I woke up Saturday morning and said, oh, it’s not fixed yet,” she said.

His problems were not unique. The Atlanta school system canceled summer school and summer programs Monday due to the ongoing disorder.

“It looks like a geyser,” Donastorg said. She also said other water main breaks occurred as the city rushed to repair the main break.

“It’s like a game of whack-a-mole,” said the reporter who covers the economy for the AJC.

Donastorg also spoke about the lack of communication from Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens.

“We didn’t hear from him (Dickens) Friday night, we didn’t hear from him Saturday morning. Finally Saturday afternoon he held a press conference, I asked him where were you? He said, ‘Memphis,'” Donastorg said.

“Mayor Dickens needed to return to Atlanta as soon as possible and resolve this problem,” said Alan Abramowitz, Emory professor emeritus.

“I personally knew someone who had to have surgery to avoid losing their eye, and it was delayed for nine hours,” said Kendra King Momon of Oglethorpe.

Abramowicz and Momon were also guests on Monday’s show, along with political consultant Rick Dent.

Emory University Hospital in Midtown, Grady Memorial Hospital and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport resumed normal operations Monday.

Dickens is up for re-election next year, and handling this water crisis may stick on the minds of Atlanta voters.

“The water break gives your opponent a ball,” Dent said. “The risk for him is not learning from this experience.”
