The New Year marks the beginning of the legislative session of the Georgia General Assembly – and with that another chance to fight together for limited government and tax reforms that will make Georgia the best place in the nation to do business.

Using this as a guiding principle, I was able to form my budget without raising taxes, while keeping a conservative outlook for the future.

That plan was the Keystone XL pipeline.
