Georgia Legislative Watch

Georgia House Speaker Glenn Richardson (R-Hiram) declared today that the House will adjourn by Friday of next week with or without a budget agreement with the Senate for this year and next, raising the specter of a costly special session.

“Time is starting to run very, very, very short,” Richardson warned the House this morning about its budget standoff with the Senate. “I believe next Friday is it. I see no reason to continue to perpetuate this session.

“It is time to get our work done and adopt the budgets and go back to your families and businesses. I intend for us to adjourn next Friday and I will continue that assertion.” (Richardson: House will adjourn by end of next week | Capitol Updates)
