The 2009-2010 Legislative Session has come to an end. This session was one of the toughest yet. State revenues declined, unemployment rose and the danger of increased foreclosures loomed as the Legislature worked toward stimulating the economy and balancing the state budget. Every decision made was done so with a carful eye on getting Georgians back to work, growing business, improving transportation, reducing government bureaucracy and improving education. We addressed each of these issues without raising taxes.
