Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle may see some of his powers stripped when a Senate Republican Caucus meets today in Macon for what some senators are calling a "coup."
A proposal pushed by President Pro Tem Tommie Williams, Majority Leader Chip Rogers and Sens. Mitch Seabaugh, Bill Cowsert and Cecil Staton would strip Cagle of many of the nominal powers he uses to help the flow of legislation through the chamber.
The move comes just days after Cagle won re-election with a higher percentage of the vote than Gov.-elect Nathan Deal.
Under the proposal, the powers would go to a small committee of senior senators.
