May 20, 2014 By Tyler Blackmon Leave a Comment

Nathan Deal’s “Gift” to Georgia’s Students: Huge Cuts to HOPE Scholarship

In 2011, mere months after he was elected, Gov. Deal announced he was giving “a gift to future generations of Georgia’s outstanding students”: he was about to slash the budget for the HOPE scholarship just as many low-income families needed help the most. Since those cuts, the number of HOPE recipients has fallen from 256,000… [Read More]

Too busy for Georgia.

March 31, 2014 By Admin Leave a Comment

We’ve seen a troubling pattern with Gov. Nathan Deal. Instead of taking care of Georgia’s business, Gov. Deal is busy taking care of his own personal interests and constantly trying to fix scandals. Whether he is preparing to testify in court about an alleged cover-up of his campaign’s finance violations, or putting $76 million dollars… [Read More]
