	Brian Kemp on Budget & Economy

Partner with local governments on workforce housing

But transformational projects, good-paying jobs, and new investment are worth little if there aren't options for hardworking Georgians to live where they work. That is why I am creating the Rural Workforce Housing Fund, enabling the state to partner directly with local governments to develop sites across the state for workforce housing.

Georgians First Commission: more diverse economy

Through the Georgians First Commission, we will review regulations that make it difficult for job creators to hire, expand, and invest. We will work to make government more efficient and put hardworking Georgians first. I am confident that we can build a stronger, more diverse economy. We can add a new designation to Georgia's resume: #1 for small business.

With conservative budgeting, Georgia has maintained a triple-A bond rating. Our Rainy Day Fund stands at $2.5 billion. Our fiscal house is in order. Last year, the Legislature lowered state income tax rates and fully funded public school education. I am confident we can do it again.
