Medical marijuana, roads on agenda
4-H Shotgun, Archery &
Air Pistol
by Rep. Jay Roberts
On Monday, January 12, the
2015 session of the Georgia
General Assembly convened
and organized at the State
Capitol in Atlanta.
I plan to write a weekly col
umn explaining what is being
addressed this session and how
it affects your quality of life,
your pocketbook and your fu
ture.
One of the first tasks that we
must address is regarding the
state’s budget. Most of my col
leagues in the General Assem
bly try to be frugal regarding
spending, taxes and new pro
grams. Our state constitution
requires that we submit a bal
anced budget to the Governor
each year for his signature.
Georgia is one of only a hand
ful of states that has obtained
the highest bond rating avail
able. That means we pay our
bills, balance our budgets, and
don’t spend frivolously.
With this in mind, the most
extensive issue that we face al
most immediately is the need
to approve a fiscal year budget
that will take us through mid
year 2016. What we call the
“big budget” is anticipated to
be around $22 billion. Georgia
is beginning to rebound from
the sluggish economy over the
past five years and our budget
experts anticipate government
revenues to increase by almost
$1 billion over last year’s re
ceipts.

Deadline is NOON Monday.

NOTICE TO DEBTORS
Legislature
Report
While our budget seems big
in number, very little of it is
discretionary spending. Most
of the money in the budget is
dedicated to programs man
dated by the federal govern
ment. This includes K-12
education and Medicaid. As
our state continues to be an at
tractive place to live and work,
our student population will
grow and we will have to help
fund that growth.
Our Medicaid budget has
grown exponentially with the
growth of our state population.
Our contribution to the Medi
caid program has grown from
$2 billion a year in 2008 to
over $3 billion for 2015. That’s
a huge part of the state’s
budget.
The two major issues that
we will address that are not
budget related is the use of
medical marijuana and a new
potential funding source for
Transportation. Let me address

both of these issues based on
the information that is cur
rently available to me.
Marijuana oil has some
medical benefits for those that
suffer from health conditions
causing seizures. I support
tightly worded legislation that
allows the use of marijuana oil
for medicinal purposes only
and has stiff penalties outside
of this use. This is an emo
tional and hotly contested
issue, but one that could have
great benefits for people with
severe medical conditions.
Regarding a new funding
source for Transportation,
there are several things to con
sider. Our roads, bridges and
other transportation infrastruc
ture have fallen woefully into
disrepair since the needed
funding to maintain them fell
delinquent during the eco
nomic downturn in the past
several years.
One of the problems that we
are faced with is approxi
mately 4,000 deficient bridges
which our families, school
buses and emergency vehicles
drive across every day. These
bridges are becoming a safety
issue and we have to try to find
the money to repair them. In
fact, I am sure that you have
seen a bridge closed because of
safety concerns. We are also
right now on a schedule of
about 50 years when it comes
to resurfacing our roads com

archery participants 4-12th

will begin with 4-6th graders. Practices will start in February.
Topics to discuss will cover what is expected of you for the
upcoming year and what you can expect when participating on
the Team. You must have a parent or guardian attend the meeting
with you, so that all forms and paper work can be completed the
night of the meeting. We will also discuss the fund-raisers, prac

much different than archery and shotgun where 4 scores make
up a team score.
Air Pistol has the opportunity for young people to compete
