On @PoliticsGPB, House Speaker David Ralston says the two most divisive topics in this year’s budget negotiations - tax cuts and teacher pay raise - will likely both be off the table when lawmakers return due to the devastating economic fallout of coronavirus. #gapol 1/
Says Ralston: “I'm not sure that the tax cut, in this type of emergency, is the wisest course to go,” he said. “And I don't think that giving a huge pay increase to one group of state employees is a wise course to go.” #gapol
More Ralston: “Those two items took up a lot of room in the state budget that we frankly may not have. I'm not trying to make news, I'm just trying to deal with reality here and kinda lay out there where we’re going to be when we’re able to go back.” #gapol
