Capitol Recap: COVID-19 and the Budget

By: Sen. Larry Walker (R – Perry)

Although the last few months have undoubtedly brought uncertainty into our state and community, I want to assure you that Georgia remains strong as we begin to take steps to bounce back from the effects of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). With a significant shock to our healthcare systems and industries, we must not forget about the hardworking Georgians that have continuously put their lives on the line every day to selflessly serve those around them. There are no words to depict the amount of appreciation I have for these individuals and I can only hope to honor their work in the weeks to come, as I remain dedicated to best serving the people of District 20. With that, I would like to give you an update on the legislature’s work related to COVID-19 and the budget.
