WILSON: What discrimination laws will do to some Southern states

WILSON: Wants to see improvement in Georgia’s General Assembly

WILSON: Wants to see improvement in Georgia’s General Assembly

By George Wilson | The General Assembly for 2016 has ended. What has it accomplished to betterment of the lives of individual Georgians? From my viewpoint: too much what they have done is to continue to cave in to special interests. As a result, I vacillate between two distinct notions about the effectiveness of the General Assembly in Georgia and how to improve their overall performance.

By George Wilson | Everywhere we look, the middle class is squeezed by employers who shrink benefits and pay, eliminate jobs, and fear-pressure their staff to work illegally without overtime pay. The redistribution of income to the top one percent continues unabated. Student loans in the U.S. are choking our future. Medical bankruptcies darken the days of those who most need some light. Some things are very wrong in this country, and these are principally the same things that work well for our peers in Europe and Canada.
