Show Notes
Georgias legislative session is nearing its end, with Crossover Day on Friday and adjournment set for April 2nd. Lawmakers must pass bills in their originating chamber by then to keep them alive. Environmental protections against data centers and warehouses, as well as concerns about the Okefenokee Swamp, are top worries for Coastal Georgians. Data center regulation took a hit, and swamp protection bills remain stalled. The House approved funding for literacy coaches, but Medicaid expansion efforts failed in the Senate. Lawmakers tapped the surplus in a new budget, allocating funds for highways, mental health, scholarships, and prison space. Tax cuts are a major focus, with an income tax drop pending final Senate okay. The sessions fate for Coastal priorities hangs in the balance as the clock ticks down.
