Gov. Brian Kemp will sign a measure Friday to create a state commission with powers to investigate, sanction or oust local prosecutors, part of an intensifying campaign by state Republicans to punish district attorneys they see as soft on crime.
The second-term governor was one of the chief advocates for the GOP-backed measure, which was approved mostly along party lines by supporters who cited embarrassing examples of “rogue prosecutors” they say neglected their duties.
It will be signed by Kemp despite objections from Democrats and prominent prosecutors who view it as a power grab by empowering a new panel to punish or remove district attorneys for broad reasons, such as “willful misconduct” or “persistent failure” to follow the law.

"Who knew a kid in Georgia is supposed to have a permit to set up a lemonade stand at the end of their driveway?
That won’t be the case come July 1, however, thanks to the General Assembly.
Gov. Brian Kemp signed Senate Bill 55 on Wednesday, a bipartisan measure that will allow Georgians under age 18 to sell non-consumable goods, pre-packaged food items and non-alcoholic beverages on private property without requiring a permit or license or paying a tax. The one caveat is the business must earn no more than $5,000 in a calendar year.
“The Lemonade Stand Act represents a bipartisan effort to support youth education, empowerment and entrepreneurship,” said state Sen. Elena Parent, D-Atlanta, the bill’s chief sponsor."
Those lemonade stands are going to be targets for armed robbery. It’s were the money is!
😒
this doesn’t effect soroz prosecutors that are too hard on non crime?

Fulton county district attorney Fani Willis wrote in a letter to local sheriff Pat Labat that she expects to announce the (trump indictment) decisions some time between 11 July and 1 September. She said she wanted to give Labat time to coordinate with local, state and federal agencies “to ensure that our law enforcement community is ready to protect the public”.
Does that mean you sell blunts at the end of your driveway?
I would like to see this applied to judges as well.
Forcing libtards to do their jobs
That’s how worthless they are. Have to pass laws
