Video of the Week – Lassiter Prom 2013, A Night of Kindness

11 Alive News recently visited the Lassiter High School prom to feature a story for their “Random Act of Kindness” segment. Donnie Gooding and Jessica Wilson, two Lassiter students with cerebral palsy who are in wheelchairs, recently attended prom. AMS vans graciously donated a wheelchair van for two so that Jessica and Donnie could ride together to the dance. Aspens Restaurant also donated a complimentary dinner for the two students. The “Random Act of Kindness” continued throughout the evening as fellow Lassiter High School students welcomed the couple with an inspiring round of applause. The kindheartedness also carried over to the crowing of the prom king and queen. Without even knowing they had been selected prom king and queen, Emma Kate Protis and James Rowe invited the special couple to be part of the prom court. Lassiter High School’s Prom Queen, Emma Kate Protis, was escorted by Donnie Gooding. Prom King, James Rowe, was escorted by Jessica Wilson.

Video of the Week: New tag tax explained

Georgia drivers will see a new tax on all vehicle purchases, leases and trades starting on Mar. 1.

The title ad valorem tax will replace sales taxes on vehicles and the annual ad valorem tax, known as the “birthday tax.”

The new tax will start at 6.5 percent of the vehicle’s value. It will go up to 6.75 percent in 2014 and 7 percent in 2015.

It applies to anyone who buys, leases or trades a car.

“They have to pay it when they get their title and registration,” said Clint Mueller, Legislative Director for the Association County Commissioners of Georgia. “Before they can drive that car on the road, they have to have a tag. Before they can get that tag, they have to pay the tax.”
