Addendum: AG, Board of Regents & HB 397

PV, Thursday, March 22nd, 2012

To: Mr. Sam Olens, Attorney General So, Mr. Olens, we’re kinda, sorta puzzled about what it is you think your role is as Attorney General of Georgia, and how you actually promulgate your duties in real life: 1) You bring forth new legislation that causes news organizations up and down this state to swoon and [...]

PV, Saturday, March 19th, 2011

Introduction Welcome to the inaugural edition of “WTF is Going On In The Georgia State GOP Chairman’s Race???” Truthfully, we thought our opening issue would have a completely different flavor to it.

SB 1: Only A True Democrat Would Veto It

PV, Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Rumors have it that Governor Sonny Perdue is contemplating a veto of SB 1, known as either the “Waste Reduction Act of 2009” or, by its more well-known name, the Zero-Base Budgeting Act.

Bill Simon, Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

Based on the information printed in Monday’s AJC article about the true nature of SB 31, I am going to allow for the possibility that the following key leaders in the State Senate were lied to by Georgia Power interests to garner their support: Lt.

Bill Simon, Monday, August 4th, 2008

PREAMBLE Ladies and Gentlemen, goose bumps are going to rise to the surface of your skin after you finish reading what has been done to a fellow citizen of these United States. Over the last 3 days, I have see-sawed from having a knot in my stomach to being so outraged that I could not [...]
