It’s nice to see that the Georgia state legislature is focusing its efforts on important issues of the day. Not only have legislators sought to annex part of a neighboring state to grab water, but they’re also apparently indicating that license plates are a matter of most dire concern. From the AJC:
In a 142 to 10 vote, the chamber voted to stop making out-of-state university mascot tags if neighboring states don’t return the favor.
“Whatever is good for the goose is good for the gander,” said state Rep. Barry Fleming (R-Harlem), speaking with great earnestness on the matter.
Fleming was really talking about Bulldogs. He and the vast majority of his House colleagues think the citizens of the Bulldog nation living in South Carolina, Alabama and Florida, should get mascot tags of their own in those states.
At a time when Georgians are bearing the burden of the worst drought in memory, isn’t it a little odd that lawmakers would place border disputes and license plates up at the top of the agenda?
Georgia voters have to be loving this circus.
