BRACK: 3 key issues will come before Georgia legislature this year
By Elliott Brack | Look out for at least three big issues to come before the Georgia Legislature this year.
The most important issue will be the reapportioning of the U.S. House of Representatives, and also both the Georgia Senate and House. That’s why this years’ Legislature will have more sway over our state than do most year’s terms as it determines voting districts. In effect, the Republican Party will have super influence for the next 10 years since the GOP will control how district lines are drawn.
