Some of the legislation hanging in the balance includes tax reform. The push to overhaul Georgia taxes descended into a Republican feud last week as House Speaker David Ralston said the state won't be able to reach an agreement on a plan until the Senate figures out who's in charge.
Tempers flared Thursday as daylong closed-door negotiations failed to break the logjam. Ralston blamed the power struggle in the Senate, where an eight-member committee has stripped many of the powers from Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle. Legislators adjourned for spring break Thursday without reaching a deal. Ralston said that without the break, the tax bill would likely be dead.
Also still to be decided--the fate of the Sunday alcohol sales bill.
