Tort Reform, Disaster Aid, and Political Tensions in Georgia

BKP will be broadcasting live on Wednesday from the Gold Dome. We are inviting different lawmakers to sit down with us to talk about the legislation that is being introduced. We need any bills that are on the floor that you have questions about for the Georgia House or Senate.
This week, Gov Brian Kemp wants to put tort reform forward. The claim is that it will bring down insurance costs for Georigians. The insurance lobbyists are going after this. Brian Kemp may be able to raise a lot of money from insurance companies. A show of force, if you are told to get out to the balcony or you will not get any legislation passed this picture is what you will see.
You do not push back against Brian Kemp. It doesn’t matter who you are, you do not push back against Kemp. You cannot support MAGA and Kemp at the same time. You cannot support MAGA and Josh McKoon. It is not possible.
Andrew Clyde owns a gun store in Athens. He knows the Kemp family very well. CLyde breaks with the GA delegation on Kemp’s disaster aid request. There was a letter supporting Kemp's request for disaster aid. Clyde is saying we need to offset funding. Every member of the GA congressional delegation backed Kemp’s request for $12B in disaster funding except one, Rep Clyde. Clyde did the ultimate NO. Kemp says the funding is needed urgently for businesses and families particularly farmers devastated by Hurricane Helene. But Clyde supported a statement saying that the money shouldn’t be approved unless it included pay-fors in the form of budget cuts elsewhere.
Clyde can not be beat in the 9th district. Now last week the Gainesville mayor put his name in the hat to challenge Andrew Clyde. The suspension is that if you go up against Kemp you will have to spend your money to say if you go against Kemp look what it will cost you.
Voters got the wrong ballot in a disputed GA House race. In a close race for state House seat in rural east Georgia, errors that put dozens of voters in the wrong district could make the difference. The map of the House district 128 had multiple problems according to testimony during a 3 day trial. In drawing the district lines, election officials put an entire street within the district when only one side would have been included. In another example several houses in a triangle shaped wedge were inadvertently added. And in another some residences were misplaced on maps because addresses were listed as a road instead of a street. Judge is considering an order to redo the election in McDuffie County. District 128. They are trying to get a new election. This should have an answer by Friday.
