ATLANTA — North Georgia lawmakers hope a jobs bill sponsored by a colleague will get another look this year from Gov. Sonny Perdue, who vetoed it last year after it passed the House and Senate.
With more than 10 percent of Georgians unemployed, state lawmakers say jobs are a top priority.
Rep. Tom Dickson, R-Cohutta, said Friday that the House and Senate joint Economic Development Committee expects this week to hear economists predict small but steady revenue growth as the state begins climbing out of recession.
