In 2016, we saw the political world turned upside down. With the election of President – Elect Donald Trump, history was made. Most pundits and political observers were taken by surprise. With a Republican Congress and White House, we are watching closely to determine what this could mean for public policy in Georgia. With 2016 being an election year, there were a number of issues that were not taken up, as they did not play well in election-year politics. Here is a pre-session legislative report we have pulled together to guide you through this legislative season.
