Harris Predicts Assembly to Act If Gov Refuses
Atlanta Aug 18 House Speaker Roy V Harris said if Governor Rivers fails to call an early extra session the General Assembly would convene itself to address the state's fiscal crisis.

A Cobb county legislator noted party members agreed with economy committee recommendations to fund salaries without new taxes and opposed a sales tax.
