Filibuster in Senate stalls house bills in Georgia session
A Senate filibuster began Monday to block passage of house bills. Senator Whatley led insurgents, condemning the house for moving ahead despite Senate measures. After initial chaos, the bill was debated, then passed amid extended business and planned joint sessions. Appropriations totaling about 200,000 were approved, including funds for state buildings, schools, and institutions. Senator Strange challenged Dahlonega funding. Senator Hand defended the allocations. The chamber set a new order of business and extended the session by an hour. A joint session is slated for Monday evening with Blount delivering remarks.
