Monday, January 13, was exciting, as legislators from across the state made their way to the Capitol to mark the beginning of the second half of the 155th meeting of the Georgia General Assembly.
It was great to catch up with friends and colleagues as we began preparation for the legislative days ahead. Over the remaining days, we will introduce and discuss new bills while revisiting 2019 legislation which did not receive a floor vote prior to our day forty deadline. Therefore, we can expect last year’s hot topic items such as casino gaming, healthcare, education and tax reform to reappear.
This week will bring the conclusion of “budget week.” I will update you on all budget happenings in the weeks to come. The budget is a living document and will change numerous times before final passage.
As always, thank you for allowing me to serve as your voice under the Gold Dome. It is an absolute honor to represent our district. Be on the lookout, as I will continue to update you throughout the legislative session. If you need anything at all, please reach out to me as I am here for YOU. Be blessed my friends. Until next time…
Respectfully,
Ed Harbison
