Georgia Governor Brian Kemp addressed Georgia legislators on Tuesday of this week and outlined plans to cut an additional $1 billion from state income tax in the coming years. Kemp told the lawmakers that they couldn’t “rest on our laurels” and that there is still more to do to cut taxes in the Peach State. The governor also talked about the pay raises for educators in the state. In all, teachers have seen a $5,000 pay raise over the past four years. Kemp also pledged to continue to crack down on crime in Georgia and to increase benefits from the HOPE scholarship. Kemp made the remarks at a speech at the University of Georgia closing out the Biennial Institute, a three-day orientation session for newly elected legislators.
