Water, transportation and Obamacare on agenda at Eggs n’ Issues breakfast
Lawmakers, lobbyists and business bigwigs gather for legislative kickoff
Street preachers must read the papers.
Outside this morning’s Eggs n’ Issues breakfast, the Georgia Chamber of Commerce’s annual fete that kicks off the legislative session, a solitary man holding a cardboard sign warned lawmakers, lobbyists and business bigwigs scurrying inside that eternal damnation would be the ultimate reward for their sinful lives. No one paid him any attention.
Inside the Georgia World Congress Center, the state’s titans of industry ate floppy slices of bacon and puffy scrambled eggs. State Rep. Jerry Keen, R-St. Simons, led Congressman Nathan Deal from table to table, helping him find President Barack Obama’s birth certificate meet movers and shakers in his gubernatorial contest. Ah, the craziness that is the General Assembly is back.
