A novice Democrat is making ethics and a call for reform the main issues in trying to unseat the Republican lieutenant governor.
Carol Porter, making her first run for public office, includes incumbent Casey Cagle in her complaints about questionable moves, such as repealing a tax relief grant -- thus costing property owners $300 or more in yearly taxes -- while stumping about cutting taxes overall.
“My voters, my constituents, my taxpayers are tapped out and can’t afford the doublespeak and the waste,” Porter said. “It’s so corrupt what they do up there [in the Gold Dome]. That’s what I’m running to get rid of.”
Cagle, meanwhile, said he is focusing on ways to encourage more private industry in the state to create more jobs. He advocates reducing government regulation as key to spurring the economy.
