Amid candidates for Congress, state and local office and a controversial transportation sales tax, you’ll find a late addition to the July 31 Republican primary ballot. A nonbinding advisory question will ask Georgia voters if a cap amount should be set on how much in meals and perks state lawmakers can accept from lobbyists. It will propose a limit of $100 in gifts and $750 for travel, meals and accommodations to conferences and speaking events.
