Politically Georgia: Inside Georgia’s record-smashing budget
How does Gov. Brian Kemp plan to spend $30.2 billion?
Kemp has proposed the largest budget in state history, and Atlanta Journal-Constitution state budget expert James Salzer joins Politically Georgia podcast host Greg Bluestein to explain what the governor plans to do with the $3.7 billion surplus.
“Gov. Kemp is in a Mardi Gras parade throwing out candy to people because there’s so much available in this budget,” Salzer said.
Plus, why there’s so much money going to education and prisons.
