Does Medicaid have a shot in Georgia? Do Kemp's green-ish initiatives?
from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts
Super grateful that GA-6 Senator Jason Esteves joined me today to share some optimism (and some stark reality, too) on the likelihood some form of full Medicaid expansion is even a possibility this legislative session. There's at least a glimmer of hope with four rural Republican lawmakers joining with Democrats on the idea, anyway. Meanwhile, as Donald Trump keeps imperiling our economy with tariff threats, his executive actions attepting to roll back clean energy initiatives. Here in Georgia, that runs counter to Governor Brian Kemp's already-laid ($27 billion) foundation for electric vehicle manufacturing and related feeder industries, while the rest of the industrialized world charges (pardon the pun) ahead on what's clearly the current future growth corridor. Looming data centers in the region are putting a crimp in Georgia Power's efforts to steer clear of coal, too. It's a mess. As is Trump's shortsighted immigration policies, which drew thousands to the streets (well, Buford Highway) of metro Atlanta for a pretty brave and brazen display of resistance. Vamos!
