ROCKDALE COUNTY, Ga. -- The 11Alive Investigators are questioning a county government about their handicapped parking.

Several disabled drivers complained about their assigned spots being farther from the Rockdale County courthouse than those of judges and county attorneys.

There's no disputing it that the reserved spaces are closest to the courthouse door. The handicap parking, however, is on the other side of this grassy hill.

The county says it does makes sense, the parking is ADA compliant and they see no need to change it.

ATLANTA (WXIA) – The laws against housing discrimination are very clear for people. For your pets, however, it is a very different situation – especially if you own a pit bull.

It is ironic that while so many apartments are being built in metro Atlanta, so many folks are finding they have nowhere to go if they have the wrong type of dog.

That's exactly what happened to 23-year-old Brandy Rose from Conyers and her 1-year-old pit bull Luna.

CONYERS, Ga. -- Numerous volunteers with a vested interest in preserving Rockdale’s rivers and streams fanned out recently around the County to clean up more than 10,000 pounds of litter during Rivers Alive.  

Keep Conyers-Rockdale Beautiful (KCRB) hosted the annual event on Oct. 6 drawing more than 200 volunteers, including 122 youth, from local schools, church groups, civic organizations, and scout troops.

The volunteers gave many hours of their time on the sunny, autumn day cleaning up local waterways, parks, illegal dumpsites, schools, subdivisions, roadways, Albert Shoals, and other locations.

In recent years, the cleanup has removed tons of garbage from areas around the County. This year, the cleanup also removed 14 tires and covered 5.81 miles of waterways.

As a thank you, volunteers received a free t-shirt from Rivers Alive and BBQ hamburger and hot dog lunch that Rockdale Water Resources and ESG Operations donated.
