    People gather to bring attention to one of many unsolved murders of women in Coffee County.

Tuesday, Albany City commissioners looked at two redistricting proposals and approved a timeline that will lead to the adoption of new district maps based on new census data.

Nathan Davis says if you want to take a look at the maps, you should contact the city manager for a copy then share your opinions.
