State leaders including Governor Perdue and House Speaker Glenn Richardson laid out their legislative priorities to the members of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce today.
It was the first time Perdue and Richardson appeared together in public since the State House overrode 12 of the Governor's vetos. They greeted each other fleetingly and promised the crowd of 2500 that they will work in the best interest of the state, in their speeches. Afterward, Perdue told reporters that State House members should let it go.
"If it's about messages, then I hope they got it out of their system. And we can more forward, and move our state forward to the issues we need to address."
For Perdue, those include water, education and funding for trauma care. For Richardson it's transportation and property tax reform. For GPB News, I'm Susanna Capelouto
