WRAL Discount Measure Passed In Georgia Senate
After hours of debate the Georgia Senate approved a five year rent discount bill for the Western and Atlantic railroad to raise about 2 6 million for state needs. An amendment dedicated 100 000 from each year’s discount to a public school fund. Debate highlighted fiscal pressures from unpaid appropriations and pensions as supporters urged liquidating assets while opponents warned of depleting critical state revenues. The measure, along with related bills on tax, motor vehicles and public notices, shaped a tense session with reversals and public policy shifts.
