Both the Georgia House and Senate had a great opportunity to clean up how business is done under the Gold Dome this session and in three cases it looks like our elected officials have shown little or no interest in doing so. Senate Bill 458, House Bill 798 and HB 1105 concern lobbyist's gifts to our elected officials. Some of the gifts include paid trips to attend special conferences, lunches and dinners and admittance to expensive, private get-togethers around the state and country and even oversees.
