Revenue cuts roil Georgia House amid tax fights
In the Georgia General Assembly a push to slash revenue faces opposition as lawmakers weigh a Tipping bill and dog tax repeal to trim a roughly 500000 deficit. House members label the treasury balance about 78749 with rail lease income as key, while talks loom of an extra session to stabilize finances. The body debates a one mill property tax proposal, a free list bill for farm products, and a $952000 normal school building appropriation at Milledgeville, amid controversy over fund deficiencies and officer oversight. The “woman lawyer” bill sparks a heated intrahouse clash with strong opinions on women practicing law, and Governor Brown plans to return the Tipping bill to the House next Wednesday.

Youngest police supervisor wins early praise at station
The youngest police supervisor, J. B. Bishop Jr., son of patrol wagon driver J. B. Bishop, is gaining favor with the chief and commissioners. He often sits beside his father at the wheel, calls to “set inside” and “take ’er in,” and already helps on calls, despite being far under the legal age. His frequent station visits and playful boldness endear him to officers, suggesting he may become a future mascot or even wear a uniform years ahead of 21.
