Yes, this is when the evil happens. At the end of the session. Wed be so much better off if we didnt have a state legislature. Among the biggest early surprises from state lawmakers today is the return of legislation by state Sen. Josh McKoon, R-Columbus, called the Preservation of Religious Freedom Act that would allow business owners to discriminate against LGBT and other minority groups if they felt their religious beliefs were being compromised. It appeared that the measure, along with a similar proposal from state Rep. Sam Teasley, R-Marietta, had died following massive public backlash from LGBT supporters and corporations such as Coca-Cola, Home Depot, and UPS. But now were hearing that his measure is being tacked on to two bills from state Rep. Mark Hamilton, R-Cumming: H.B. 714, a proposal that would cut unemployment benefits for seasonal private school workers, and H.B. 1027, a measure that dealt with unemployment insurance. clatl/freshloaf/archives/2014/03/20/surprise-georgias-religious-freedoms-bill-is-back-from-the-dead
