Gov. Deal Highlights Ethics, Juvenile Justice in Legislative Overview | WABE 90.1 FM

Speaking before the Atlanta Press Club in downtown Atlanta, Governor Nathan Deal discussed some of the major accomplishments of the past legislative session, including a bill aimed at reducing the influence of special interests at the Capitol.

“Even though that [the ethics bill] does not do everything that everybody wants, I think it is a significant step in the right direction.”

Gov. Deal said he wouldn’t be surprised if lawmakers revisited the issue next legislative session.

“I do believe that there will be at least a good debate about whether or not some of the provisions should be tweaked, but I will not attempt to dictate to the legislative body because the rules will apply to them – [they] won’t apply to me.”
