ATLANTA (March 28, 2016) | Sen. Vincent Fort (D – Atlanta) has released the following statement regarding Gov. Nathan Deal’s decision to veto House Bill 757:
“I am relieved that Governor Deal did the right thing and vetoed HB 757, a bill that would have caused great moral and economic harm to our state. Now that we have put this legislation in the rear view mirror, I hope that the General Assembly will rededicate itself to focusing on expanding opportunity for all Georgians by raising the minimum wage, expanding Medicaid and improving mass transit.”
