Beers Bill Tug-of-War Shapes Georgia Legislation
In Allents Georgia the August legislative fight centers on the Tippins prohibition bill. Opponents fear delay tactics and seek to stall the measure until the senate cannot act. The fertilizer and appropriations bills loom as time killers, while the Tippins bill may die next session or be revived later. The dispute also blocks action on a proposed criminal-law revision and other priorities as lawmakers focus on beer policy. The departure of Gates, a noted political figure, closes a turbulent period.
