3/16 2020 Special Session Day Report

Posted on News by Jeffrey Sewell · March 16, 2020 11:32 PM

Monday,  March 16,  2020

Georgia State Capitol
Today, my fellow House members and I overwhelmingly voted in support of Gov Kemp's  request for special powers to head off the COVID-19/Corona Virus outbreak in Georgia. 
My vote, as with many of my colleagues, came with conditions that the Governor exercise considerable restraint in the unprecedented power the Legislature granted to the Governor. 

The powers granted to the Gov by the Legislature expire in 30 days, April 13th, and must be reauthorized by April 15th, lest they will expire.
The Special Session report is the official recap of today's Special Session proceedings. 

As always, thank you for allowing me to serve as your State Representative, which I consider to be an honor and privilege.

With kind regards,

Jeff Jones

OpEd: Red Georgia sings the Blues over proposed EPA rule change

Posted on News by Jeffrey Sewell · November 13, 2017 8:27 AM

As the late U.S. House Speaker Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neill, D-Mass., famously observed, “All politics is local.” That observation is frequently validated all over the country, including, at the moment, the state of Georgia.

Georgia might be a Red state, but at least one part of it (and almost certainly more) wants Washington to hang on to at least some Blue policy for at least a while longer. And with very good reason.

Late last month, three coastal Georgia members of the General Assembly — Reps. Jeff Jones and Don Hogan of St. Simons, and Sen. Jason Spencer of Woodbine — sent a letter to U.S. Sens. Johnny Isakson and David Perdue and Rep. Buddy Carter asking them to oppose an announced plan by Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt to weaken regulations governing coal ash discharge.
