—Two Columbus senators introduced
a bill that would restrict public access
to governmental records.
—A measure was introduced in the
House to declare Martin Luther King
Jr.’s birthday — Jan. 15 —a state

Legislators are not expected to get to
Busbee's proposed $2.13 billion budget
for fiscal 1978 until next month.
A number of legislators had criticized
the governor’s proposal to pay for the
road improvements through bonds.
They contended the state would be
paying off the bonds long after the
resurfacing had worn away.
Lt. Gov. Zell Miller said of the
committee action, “I can see where I’m
going to differ with it pretty much.”
He questioned whether the re
surfacing need is as critical as some
have suggested, and he said if the ex
pected surplus budget money is to be
spent, it should be spent for education.
The “sunset” legislation — so named
because the sun would set on agencies
not given new legislative life — is ex
pected to win quick approval in the Sen
ate.
“I have not heard one legislator
speak against this bill,” said co-sponsor
Lee Robinson, a Democratic senator
from Macon who predicted it would
reach the Senate floor Friday.

Rep. Bobby Hill thinks
executions are inevitable
ATLANTA (AP) The Georgia
Legislature’s best known oppo
nent of capital punishment laws
says a resumption of executions
appears inevitable in the state.
But Rep. Bobby Hill, DnSa
vannah, says the first execution
might cause state lawmakers to
re-examine their attitudes
about capital punishment and
vote to ban the death penalty.
Hill, 35, began his ninth year
in the legislature this week and
was elected chairman of the
legislature’s Black Caucus.
A lawyer specializing in
criminal cases, Hill filed an ap
peal to the U.S. Supreme Court
in 1971 that was instrumental in
the high court’s decision to
overturn death penalty laws in
Georgia and several other
states.
He argued vehemently
against a new capital punish
ment law developed for the
state in 1973, but the proposal
passed the legislature and was
signed into law. It recently sur
vived a challenge before the
nation’s highest court.
By his own count, Hill repre
sents “six or seven cases” on
Georgia’s death row, but says
he plans no immediate effort to
abolish the death penalty in the
state.
“I think the sense of this body
(the House of Representatives)
is to stay with the death penalty.
That’s not likely to change until
we have a death,” he said.
Asked why he thought that
would cause a change, Hill said
that during the debate over a
new capital punishment law in
1973, “many legislators told me
they were for the death penalty
because they thought it
wouldn’t happen. Many told me
they voted for it on principle
because they knew the Supreme
Court wouldn’t let it happen.”
But he added, “One death at
Reidsville (the state’s max
imum security prison) probably
would change an appreciable
vote in the House.”
Hill said that as the attorney
for many death row prisoners
his tactics now are designed to
delay their dates with the elec
tric chair.
He said he is filing habeus
corpus petitions in state coruts,
planning to appeal denials to
higher courts, and then to go
into federal courts, if neces
sary, to buy mora time.
“It’s legal musical chairs,
and my clients on death row
don’t like me to mention
chairs,” he said. “Why do I buy
time? I hope that the attitudes
or the compositions of the
courts will change.”
He said any attempt now to
pass a bill banning capital pun
ishment might “only confirm
that this is a blood-thirsty
state.”
