Kemp extends Georgia gas tax suspension through Memorial Day weekend Gov. Brian Kemp signed an executive order Friday to extend the gas tax suspension for another two weeks. The suspension will run from May 20 until June 3 saving Georgians 33.3 cents per gallon of gasoline and 37.3 cents per gallon of diesel. “As Georgia families prepare for the Memorial Day travel weekend, they should not feel blindsided by prices […]
Gerald Griggs, Atlanta-based attorney, advocate and activist - and former NAACP Georgia chapter President, joined me Friday morning to weigh in on the landscape in a post-'Callais' U.S. and Georgia. He and I discussed the near-immediate aftermath of fever-pitch GOP redistricting to dilute Black voter power in Congress and even at the state level. Georgia's governor, Brian Kemp, this week announced he, too, is reconvening the state legislature to further […]
Kemp signs bill making some Metro Atlanta offices nonpartisan Gov. Brian Kemp signed a bill this week that would make some elected offices nonpartisan in Metro Atlanta counties. House Bill 369 was reengineered to change elected offices in Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett counties to be nonpartisan. This means when voters go to the polls starting in 2028, candidates for district attorney, county commissions, and other elected offices will […]
Kemp calls special session on Georgia maps, ballot deadline fix Gov. Brian Kemp signed a proclamation Wednesday calling the state legislature in for a special session to consider redrawing the state’s political maps and finding a solution to a looming election deadline. The Georgia General Assembly will reconvene on June 17, the day after the runoff elections for the May primaries. The session will focus on redrawing district maps after […]
Also, Democrats need to present an alternative to the GOP's and their own 'status quo' & is there a pattern of campaign finance ethics issues with Bottoms' campaigns? Not only did Brian Kemp call a special session of the General Assembly back to the Gold Dome to address a mess of its own making (mandating the elimination of QR codes from voter ballots), but the already-and-disproportionately gerrymandered state - in […]
Crowded Georgia PSC races draw 10 candidates amid rising utility costs Two seats, 10 candidates. The Georgia Public Service Commission has gained popularity over the past year with rising utility costs accompanied by a historic expansion of Georgia Power’s grid capacity. Two seats of the five member commission are up for election this year. One, District Three, is currently held by Commissioner Peter Hubbard, a Democrat who beat out a […]
Kemp signs Georgia’s 2027 budget focused on growth and restrained spending Gov. Brian Kemp signed the budget for fiscal year 2027 on Tuesday saying that the plan will keep Georgia prosperous while also limiting government spending. “As I always say, our job is to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars, because that’s the people’s money, not the government’s! That’s why we’ve saved or returned over $12 billion to the taxpayers, […]
Governor Brian Kemp's last hurrah with the veto pen (and the 'sign into law' pen, too) is akin to burying landmines on property just before abandoning it for someone else to step all over. Income & property tax relief measures passed by the GOP-led General Assembly will shift tax burden onto consumption taxes everyone will pay - disproportionately impacting the poor and working class - to give the better-and-well-of a […]
Fair Fight Action CEO Lauren Groh-Wargo (who's now been called to testify before a state Senate panel investigating the now-defunct New Georgia Project) joined me to vent over the state of civil rights & marginalized voter rights in a post-'Callais' environment. Lauren spoke of the need for a "new civil rights movement." Well, that new coalition is assembling Saturday in Selma - first at the Edmun Pettis bridge - with […]
