Georgia State Agencies Directed to Maintain Spending Levels Amid Budget Constraints

Georgia State Agencies Directed to Maintain Spending Levels Amid Budget Constraints

Governor Brian Kemp's administration has instructed Georgia state agencies to maintain their current spending levels as they prepare budget proposals for the upcoming legislative session. This directive comes as Kemp, who is term-limited, signed his final budget earlier this year, which included over $300 million in cuts to accommodate an income tax cut package. The Office of Planning and Budget, led by Richard Dunn, has emphasized that any requests for increased funding must be justified as urgent and unavoidable, and cannot be addressed through internal redirection without impacting essential services. Agencies are also required to draft contingency plans to identify potential efficiencies and savings. This move is part of a broader strategy to manage the state's finances responsibly while implementing tax relief measures.

USGS Reclassifies Atlanta Tremor as Quarry Blast, Not Earthquake

USGS Reclassifies Atlanta Tremor as Quarry Blast, Not Earthquake

A reported 2.3 magnitude earthquake near Lilburn, Georgia, initially thought to be a natural seismic event, has been reclassified by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as a manmade quarry blast. The tremor occurred on Wednesday afternoon and was felt locally, with reports of vibrations similar to those caused by a large truck passing. The USGS identified the center of the blast near Meadowcreek High School, close to Gwinnett County Fire Station 23, an area with at least three active quarries. The specific quarry responsible for the blast remains unidentified, and it is unclear if any damage occurred to nearby properties.
