Carswell backs debt retirement plan in Georgia primary
A Georgia gubernatorial primary update notes that three candidates were eliminated on September 10 with a run off set for October 1 between George H. Carswell and Richard B. Russell Jr. Carswell proposes diverting about five million dollars from the automobile tag fund for one year to pay back wages for teachers, fund higher education, Milledgeville asylum, Gracewood, Alto sanitarium, Cave Springs school, Confederate veterans pensions, and widows. He argues road-building would not halt and that the move would circulate money while avoiding tax hikes. He urges voters to back Carswell to fund essential state services without increasing expenditures.
