Brace yourselves.
When the 2016 General Assembly convenes this week, it will mark the beginning of a busy, unpredictable period of Georgia politics. The Legislature will debate a bill that some say would allow businesses to deny services to gay Georgians, and it will consider whether teacher pay should be tied to student performance. An improved financial picture will create opportunity and conflict as powerful forces compete for state funds. And casting a shadow over all of it will be a fierce battle for supremacy in Georgia’s March 1 presidential primary.
Our political team is ready. We’ll be bringing you more legislative coverage than ever on our premium website and we will cover the 2016 campaign in Georgia and beyond.
