Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan says the 2022 midterm elections will be a “fight” for the heart of the Republican Party.
The spread of disputed allegations of fraud in the 2020 election by members of his own party, some of whom are winning endorsements from former President Donald Trump, will ultimately pay the price, Duncan said in a phone interview with the

This is a center-right country,” Duncan said. “We just got to make a few tweaks and adjustments to once again be back in these majority positions.”

Opposition state representative Chris Hall reportedly refused to back the funding, raising concerns about the lack of competitive bidding for the $52m, five-year project, which will also replace government financial planning software.
Questions have been asked about the procurement as former chief of staff to the state Jake Ketzner is now a lobbyist for the California SaaS specialist. Enthusiasts can listen to local newshound Erin Jordan get a firm no comment from Workday s Ketzner before he hangs up to go into a meeting here.
Amid a coronavirus-disrupted session that separates lawmakers from the public, schoolteachers on Wednesday made up labor unions’ biggest show of force this year.
About 100 showed up in red jackets, shirts, blouses and ties to show solidarity against a measure educators say singles them out for bureaucratic harassment because they belong to a labor union.
The Senate Government Oversight Committee, on a party line vote, OK’d the bill (SB 1014) that would require labor organizations to demonstrate every year that they have at least 50% of a bargaining unit’s workforce as dues-paying members.
