On this week's second serving of Political Breakfast, MARTA says it’s committed to moving forward with a 230 million dollar renovation of the Five Points station in downtown Atlanta.

Mayor Andre Dickens wanted MARTA to pause the overhaul.

The Political Breakfast team addresses the Mayor's concerns about what turned up in a recent audit.

Plus, ahead of November former Georgia Sen. Jen Jordan is advising Democrats to talk non-stop about contraception and reproductive rights.

Is campaigning on that issue a winning strategy for Democrats?

Democratic Strategist Tharon Johnson, Republican Strategist Brian Robinson and host Lisa Rayam weigh-in.
