The Georgia Senate Public Safety Committee passed a measure that could cost local jurisdictions state taxpayer money if they declare themselves a "Sanctuary City."
The committee passed an amended version of House Bill 301, which the state House passed last year as a measure initially related to motor vehicles and traffic. The push has become a priority in the wake of last month's murder of a 22-year-old Augusta University nursing student on the University of Georgia campus in Athens.
"What we've done in this legislation is we've added some teeth because there were none in the past; we just told them don't do it, and they didn't do it," state Sen. Randy Robertson, R-Cataula, said. "...Primarily, what this will do is if a city does pass these ... policies, they risk losing funds that they would normally receive from the state or ... federal funds that are currently managed by the state."

"This legislation also creates an opportunity for citizens who feel that their communities are taking these actions — which are in violation of Georgia law when it's related to sanctuary cities — [to] take legal action against their community ... to get their community back on track," Robertson said.

On my walks I see a lot fewer of those signs these days. I haven’t seen a BLM sign in a while.
Georgia sanctuary cities could lose taxpayer funding under new bill passed after Laken Riley murder

The more important question is: Why did they not lose taxpayer funding prior to the murder? More proof that our political leaders really don’t care broadly about the citizenry.
Amazon has signs like “Trespassers will be shot” - which would be the case if someone were forcibly trying to break-into our home.

Sure, but how many illegals (oops, can’t say illegal so make that wetbacks) have the woke homeowners brought into their houses? Or is their signage nothing but talk?
