ATLANTA — Channel 2 Action News has spent weeks covering every move inside and outside the Gold Dome: surprise bills, school safety, election laws and everything in between.
It all wraps up Thursday night.
Channel 2’s Richard Elliot was live at the Capitol for WSB Tonight at 11 p.m. with how the House and Senate reached a last-minute budget agreement.
It was also the last sine die for Gov. Brian Kemp, who walked into the House chamber for his eighth and final sine die address to lawmakers.
“I hope we can all look back on this time as an era when Georgia leaders put the people first when they made their lies a little easier and opportunities more plentiful when state leaders worked as a team and did the right thing, even when no one was watching,” Kemp said.
Less than 30 minutes earlier, House and Senate lawmakers shook hands over Georgia’s $38.5 billion budget, a deal that took weeks to hammer out.
