Alleged lease violation may be issue in legislature
Atlanta June 6 Gov Brown faces a potential legislature issue over the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis lease. The Western and Atlantic Railroad lease allegedly charges higher interstate rates to Chattanooga than intrastate routes. The railroad commission says the lease forbids such interstate charges, prompting a standoff with Governor Brown and the attorney general over who should act. The matter may shift to the legislature or to Governor Smith, with broader implications for Chattanooga terminals and state property valued at about 1.5 million. The piece also notes political maneuvering for speaker positions, and upcoming Georgia politics events and Tech commencement activities.
