Placeholder Image
As dusk fell Thursday on the state Capitol, lawmakers were busy on the floors of the House and Senate trying to pass last-minute legislation before the midnight end of this year’s session of the Georgia General Assembly. Rep. Carl Rogers, R-Gainesville, came through for Gainesville and Hall County officials before the buzzer sounded. Following the House’s lead, the Senate adopted two pieces of local legislation that will create the Gainesville Convention and Visitors Bureau Authority and a new Board of Elections and Registrations of Hall County.
