Reps. Davis, Schofield and Scott: Upholding the Constitution Requires a Veto of HB 297, HB 369 and SB 33

By State Representatives Viola Davis (D-Stone Mountain), Kim Schofield (D-Atlanta) and Sandra G. Scott (D-Rex)

(649 words)

In government, process is not a formality; it is the safeguard that protects the people.

This request is not rooted in politics. It is grounded in the Constitution, supported by documented evidence and driven by our responsibility to protect the people of Georgia.
