House to take up budget Tuesday
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The state’s $16.5 billion mid-year budget will hit the floor of the Georgia House on Tuesday. The spending plan — which includes two new projects for Georgia State University, the alma mater of House Speaker Glenn Richardson (R-Hiram) — was put on the House calendar for Tuesday by the powerful Rules Committee this morning.
Rules Committee Chairman Earl Erhart (R-Powder Springs) only allowed two other bills on the calendar so there will be plenty of time for a floor debate of the budget, which also includes funds for a ports project in the hometown of Majority Leader Jerry Keen.
Legislators convene at 1 p.m. today.
