Gwinnett lawmakers to county: Let’s talk

Gwinnett’s legislative delegation will be talking about wish lists all day Monday.

That’s when the state lawmakers are scheduled to meet with county officials, school board members and other agencies about their priorities for the upcoming 2008 Georgia General Assembly.

The 40-day legislative session convenes in January.

Expect water and taxes to top the County Commission’s list. The board wants the Legislature to pass water conservation measures.

The commission doesn’t want the Legislature to adopt Georgia House Speaker Glenn Richardson’s “GREAT” tax plan.

That’s the one that would end property taxation in Georgia by swapping the revenue local governments would lose with added state sales taxes.
