Warring lawmakers appear with Governor

Governor Sonny Perdue is back in Georgia after an economic development trip to China. The Governor signed a trio of bills into law dealing with health care, education and transportation. Today Mr. Perdue also appeared at the Capitol with House Speaker Glenn Richardson and Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle. Richardson and Cagle disputed publicly over tax reform throughout the legislative session … an issue that failed to get anywhere. Today neither backed away from attacks they traded last week … Richardson calling on Cagle's ouster for failing to pass tax reform … and Cagle accusing Richardson of being quote "blinded by ego."
