Governor Brian Kemp's last hurrah with the veto pen (and the 'sign into law' pen, too) is akin to burying landmines on property just before abandoning it for someone else to step all over. Income & property tax relief measures passed by the GOP-led General Assembly will shift tax burden onto consumption taxes everyone will pay - disproportionately impacting the poor and working class - to give the better-and-well-of a break. Meanwhile, those revenue cuts also created a budget shortfall his vetoes don't measure to. So with those 'tough decisions' to make he chose curbing funds to combat veteran homelessness and money earmarked for K-12 student transportation needs. Wouldn't those buses help get students-of-need to those private schools their vouchers were supposed to bridge the gap for?

There's been so much attention paid to who ought to represent each party in the gubernatorial race that Georgia voters have no idea who ought to be lieutenant governor, with each party's candidates failing to gather enough support to overcome 'undecided' on either side.

One of the three Democratic options - Richard Wright, a certified public account and not a career politician - joined the show today to make his case.
