A Georgia Senate committee heard from a mother who lost her child on Lake Lanier last summer before approving new boating safety legislation Tuesday. The Natural Resources and the Environment Committee voted unanimously after hearing from several speakers, including an emotional Tameka Raymond, whose son Kile Glover died after the 11-year-old was struck in a boating accident. Glover was the stepson of entertainer Usher.
