Kemp Urges Lawmakers to Stay Cautious With State Spending

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and the state's budget writers are committed to maintaining a cautious approach to spending despite a significant surplus. Governor Kemp highlighted $5 billion in tax relief and proposed accelerating additional tax cuts during legislative hearings. The state's revenue growth in recent years, driven by capital gains, is expected to decline due to an economic slowdown. State Economist Robert Buschman predicts a mild recession in the first half of the year, impacting tax collections. Kemp believes proposed pay increases for state employees and teachers will act as a buffer against the recession, aiming to keep people working and the state in good shape.
