Our panel looks at the issues still in play as the 2016 session of the Georgia general assembly gets set to adjourn on Thursday night, March 24. Among them are campus carry, expediting rape kit processing, and expanding the number of medical conditions that qualify for treatment with medical marijuana.

And the panel offers insights about what Governor Deal is going to do with the religious liberty bill now awaiting his signature. Will he sign or veto it?

We play excerpts from a long-form interview we conducted with Georgia Speaker of the House David Ralston talking about these weighty issues.

 

Panelists:

Jim Galloway - Political writer, Atlanta Journal Constitution

Jackie Gingrich Cushman - Republican columnist and strategist

Dr. Andra Gillespie - Associate professor of Political Science, Emory University
