Political Rewind: Gov. Kemp Sets New Tone With State Of The State; A Tribute To Jim Galloway
Friday on Political Rewind: After a bruising year of contending with the coronavirus, feuds with the president and a bitter war with fellow Republicans, Gov. Brian Kemp delivered a State of the State speech calling for unity and painting a picture of a brighter future for Georgia. Still, partisans on both sides of the aisle found grounds for criticizing Kemp\u2019s vision for the year ahead.\n\nKemp made no mention in his speech of proposals to change Georgia\u2019s rules for mail-in voting, but the GOP-led effort will likely be one of the most contentious issues on the legislative session.\n\nAlso,\xa0we paid tribute to a giant of Georgia life:\xa0The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Jim Galloway is retiring after more than four decades at the paper. The longtime panelist will remain a frequent guest of our show.\n\nPanelists:\n\nJim Galloway \u2014 Lead Political Writer, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution\n\nRep. Mary Margaret Oliver \u2014 State Representative (D) Decatur\n\nSam Olens \u2014 Former Georgia Attorney General\n\nMichael Thurmond \u2014 DeKalb County CEO
