Dome Politics
A number of different committees of the Georgia General Assembly discussed topics important to Georgians. These committees were from both the House and Senate and addressed taxes, grants, and intragovernmental coordination.
First, the House Technology and Infrastructure Committee discussed two different bills. They began with Senate Bill (SB) 111, also known as the Georgia Consumer Privacy Protection Act.
SB 111 focuses on protecting the privacy of consumer personal data in this state. It is meant to align Georgia with twenty other states.
SB 111 balances a great business environment with data privacy. It easily passed to the Rules Committee.
In a recent exchange with a reporter, President Trump expressed his opinion on NPR and PBS receiving taxpayer funds. Trump stated that the funds were wasted on biased entities like them.
On the question of defunding them, he stated, “I would love to do that. I think it's very unfair, it's been very biased — the whole group... the kind of money that's being wasted, and it's a very biased view."
Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) concurred with the President. Then, she confronted NPR and PBS executives at a recent DOGE Committee hearing.
Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock - People often believe the success of the civil rights activists was inevitable—but in reality, it was improbable. Passing a voting rights bill after a civil rights bill wasn’t likely to happen. But they forged on, because the vision of a better, more equal America was not something to give up.
Rep. Mike Collins - The Department of Education was a failure. Washington, D.C. bureaucrats sacrificed our children's education to force-feed them woke ideology. That time is over.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene - I had a WONDERFUL weekend spending time with the GREAT people in my district!! I am so thankful to represent such an amazing district in Northwest Georgia!! There’s no place like home!!
