The Georgia House and Senate have yet to pass the state's $32.4 billion budget for the 2024 fiscal year, which begins on July 1, 2023.
The latest version of the budget that passed the state Senate envisions $6,000 pay raises for state troopers, GBI investigators, and game wardens, and $2,000 for teachers and other state employees the spending.
But, the plan also cuts funding to the University System of Georgia and Georgia Public Broadcasting. Governor Kemp is pushing legislators to approve a bill that would provide $6,500 per year in vouchers to attend private school.
