Bipartisan Allies Campaign Against Amendment 3

WABE

Two new political allies have spent the past few days traveling around Georgia to oppose Amendment Three on next week’s ballot.

The constitutional amendment, if passed, would allow the state legislature to recreate the state agency that investigates judicial ethics complaints, also known as the Judicial Qualifications Commission.

State Sen. Josh McKoon, R-Columbus, has teamed up with Lester Tate, a Democrat and former chairman of the commission to campaign against the measure.

“It should wave a big red flag, and ring a big warning bell that people who disagree respectfully on a lot of issues have come together to say this amendment is bad public policy for the state,” McKoon said.
