Political Rewind: What Deal’s Delta Decision Means For Amazon, Governor’s Race
Primary Content
On this edition of Political Rewind, Governor Deal makes a surprise announcement that he will suspend a controversial jet fuel tax long sought by Delta Air Lines.
It comes even as the state is preparing a billion dollar package of incentives to lure Amazon’s new headquarters to Atlanta. How will conservatives in the legislature respond to these business-friendly measures, and will they become ensnared in the politics of the governor’s race? Our panel weighs in. Plus, in a speech to Georgia prosecutors, Attorney General Jeff Sessions makes it clear he’s no fan of the criminal justice reforms that have won Governor Deal national acclaim.
