It passed the House now I wonder if it will pass the Senate...


"The second time's the charm for House Republicans who get exactly the 120 votes needed to pass a bill to double Fulton County's homestead exemption.

After failing to pass by one vote last week, bill sponsors threatened to hold up local legislation for cities and counties across the state until they had enough votes to pass it.

Fulton County Commission Chair John Eaves describes the vote as punitive and mean-spirited.

Now that the bill is headed to the Senate, he is making the rounds at the State Capitol to warn Senators of the bill’s impact.

Doubling the homestead exemption from $30,000 to $60,000 would mean about a $50 million annual cut to Fulton’s budget..."
