Welcome to Georgia John Edwards. The Georgia Press Corp has been so focused on Glenn Richardson's GREAT tax cut for the rich plan that they've left out a few details. We're here to fill the gaps. Enjoy your stay but you'd be well advised not to become a citizen of Georgia unless your networth is over a million or so.

It's time to rein in the unregulated power of the Georgia Insurance Commissioner's Office.
ReplyDeleteThe Office is more than adequately compensated by taxpayer dollars.
Welcome to the Red State.
