The Georgia Legislative Assembly ended its 2009 session on April 3, and according to Sen. John Douglas (R – Social Circle) the state budget was a winner because the state didn’t have to raise taxes. However, he said the state’s transportation system was a loser because no bills were passed. The year’s winners and losers were one of the many topics discussed by Douglas and Rep. Doug Holt (R – Social Circle) at Friday’s post-legislative wrap-up, hosted by the Covington/Newton County Chamber of Commerce at DeKalb Technical College.
