Governor Kemp launches an economic plan
ATLANTA — A day after Stacey Abrams unveiled her economic plan, Gov. Brian Kemp made a big economic announcement.
Kemp said it was another record year for the Georgia economy.
“We tell people all the time that we live in the best state to live, work and raise our families. And that is the great state of Georgia. I believe that more than ever,” Kemp said.
Just three months before Election Day, Kemp announced what he says was another record year for the Georgia economy.
At the Capitol, he told reporters that the amount of investment and job creation in the state in the last fiscal year broke previous state records.

“These are records that we will continue to build on because, as you know, we’re never one to rest on our laurels here in Georgia,” Kemp said.
The governor says 50,000 jobs were created in the state in the past year.
The governor’s announcement comes a day after his opponent, Stacey Abrams, announced her own economic plan, saying she would use the state’s budget surplus to expand Medicaid.
“We can do it now. The math shows we can do it without raising a penny in taxes, and my plan is about how we do it,” Abrams said.
Abrams said part of his economic plan also strongly supports the legalization of gambling in Georgia.
