I wanted Georgia to be known as a state that was friendly and welcoming to people. And while I absolutely believe in the rule of law and that people should be here legally, I think we should be hospitable and kind and compassionate. There’s a real legitimate worker shortage where there is a real fear and perception that Georgia is probably not a state to be seen in if you’re of a different color. And I don’t think that’s what Georgia wants to be known as.

Between now and the next year, as we go to solve this problem, everybody knows there’s going to have to be a compromise on some sort of revenue increases. Grover’s old news. It doesn’t matter what he says, it doesn’t matter what he wants.

Praise Jesus, they are out there after all. I am happy to be wrong and if this sentiment continues it may be more often...which means I might not have much to bitch about, right? Hope springs eternal!

Oh I trust you will always find fault with people who disagree with you.
Just so you are clear, revenue is about 3 percentage points off the historical norm, spending is 7 points or so over that. Sure, we can bring revenue back up - but that still isn't going to be all that much in comparison to the spending that has to be cut.

Funny you should mention it this way. I've got a series planned this week that addresses this issue.

Oh joy. Or perhaps you mean you are going to address your issue? Interesting thought, but I rather doubt that.
In retrospect, now that this post is out-dated by a few days, perhaps Mark IS addressing an issue.
Mark, re-read some of your words, and the reponses, and then tell yourself what you think.
Be reflective, or whatever.
