Georgia Problems 1-12-25

Georgia has the worst Income Tax Form on the planet. The GA-500 tax form needs to be reduced from 28 pages to 2 pages. All the charitable contributions and agricultural items should be relegated to a “Schedule” form. 

The Georgia Legislature needs to repeal all laws authorizing Regional Commissions and return control over expenditures to cities and counties.

Georgia Law needs to prevent Home Title Theft and Identity Theft before it happens. The Home Title Problem could be solved by giving the County Registrar’s office access to the GA DMV Photo ID database.

The Georgia Republican Party has a narrow bench of candidates for high office in the State. Pew Research reports that Georgia Voters are split with 41% Republicans, 41% Democrats and 18% Independents.

Jon Ossoff (Democratic Party) is a member of the US Senate from Georgia. He assumed office on January 20, 2021. His current term ends on January 3, 2027. Georgia has a chance to replace Ossoff with a Republican if they can find the right candidate.  

Raphael Warnock (Democrat) is a member of the US Senate from Georgia. He assumed office in 2021 and his current term expires in 2029. Georgia has a chance to replace Warnock with a Republican if they can find the right candidate.

Brian Kemp (Republican Party) is the Governor of Georgia. He assumed office on January 14, 2019. His current term ends on January 11, 2027. Georgia has done well with Republican Governor Kemp with the expansion of the Port of Savannah and attracting businesses but the Georgia GOP needs to ensure that they pick the right candidate to win on issues that will be critical in 2027.
