🌱 Senator Graham Must Testify + Deputy Saves Woman + Public Hearing

Hi all! I'm back in your inbox this morning with all the most important things happening locally. Let's do it.

First, today's weather:

Cloudy, a stray t-storm; warm. High: 90 Low: 71.

Here are the top five stories in Alpharetta-Milton today:

1. A Fulton County Judge has ruled that U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham must testify in the county's 2020 General Election investigation. He will now testify about two phone calls he made to Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger about reexamining certain absentee ballots to overturn the election in Trump's favor. Graham's attorneys argue that the investigation is politically motivated. (CBS46)
2. A Fulton County Sherriff's deputy is being hailed a hero after saving a woman in crisis. The incident occurred on Jun. 30 and involved a woman sitting on the edge of a rooftop. Deputy Nicolas Reynolds complied with the individual's requests to gain her trust. Other deputies were able to pull the woman from the ledge. (Police 1)

4. Alpharetta City officials are asking the public to comment on a proposed 81-room hotel. The facility is being proposed for 12685 Crabapple Road on a 1.36-acre parcel of land. The location is technically in Alpharetta but is surrounded by Milton. Due to the geographic nature of the project, Milton residents are also asked to comment. The proposal's first public hearing will be tomorrow, Jul. 13. (Georgia Sun)
5. A new Delbar restaurant location will be opening in Alpharetta. The new location will be at 4120 Old Milton Pkwy — the previous location of Traditions Indian Cuisine. The restaurant will be featuring Persian and Middle Eastern fare and will also serve wine and beer. (AJC.com)
