Georgia legislators’ expenses don’t follow a common road | jacksonville.com

ATLANTA | When it comes to politics, Regina Quick and Ron Stephens are on the same end of the spectrum, but when it comes to claiming expenses from taxpayers, they part ways.

Both are Republican members of the House of Representatives, Quick from Athens and Stephens from Savannah. They often vote alike on major bills.

Regarding expenses, Quick hasn’t claimed any and doesn’t intend to, and Stephens’ claims are among the legislature’s top.

“I think fiscal conservatives should lead by example, so I have tried the treat the taxpayers’ money as if it was my own,” she said, adding that she plans to stick to the practice of absorbing legislative expenses throughout her political career, which just began in January.
