For 236 Georgians, Monday is probably all they’ve been thinking about, anticipating the start of the 2020 Georgia Legislative session.
That’s when 180 members elected to the state House and 56 elected to the state Senate will officially “get to work” this year.
What’s on the General Assembly’s plate?
WABE reporter Emma Hurt spoke to “All Things Considered” host Jim Burress. Hurt took a look at the menu, so to speak, and broke it all down.
Hurt shared the nuts and bolts of how the legislative session is structured, as well as the governor’s priorities versus lawmakers’ priorities.
Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan presides over the Senate. Hurt explains how hands-on he might be and what issues he might push.
The situation this year is somewhat different going into this legislative session — Georgia is doing great, according to most economic indicators, yet there are still worries about a budget deficit.
