Early Power Plays at the Capitol

Early Power Plays at the Capitol

Host Greg Bluestein is joined by Patricia Murphy to break down the early tone of Georgia’s legislative session, as lawmakers shift their focus toward affordability and major tax proposals instead of the culture-war battles that have dominated recent years. They examine Governor Brian Kemp’s emerging agenda, including billions in transportation spending and a surprise push to address homelessness, and why Republicans say rising costs are now impossible to ignore. Patricia then shares her recorded interview with Senate Majority Leader Jason Anavitarte, who outlines his priorities for the session, including competing plans to cut income and property taxes. Anavitarte also addresses the unusually crowded field of lawmakers running for higher office, the race to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene, and why he believes the Senate can keep order during a high-stakes election year.
