SAVANNAH, Ga. — A wholesale overhaul of how to confront systemic poverty in Georgia. A multipronged plan to combat the scourge of climate change. A set of policy changes to address the state’s growing affordable housing crisis.
Stacey Abrams has unveiled dozens of proposals to tackle stubborn policy dilemmas if she breaks a 20-year GOP hold on the state’s highest office and is elected the first Black governor in Georgia history. So many that she even jokes about it.
“For anything we don’t get to, I’ve probably thought about,” she quipped to an audience crammed into a Savannah church, shortly after she plugged her plan to legalize casino gambling and sports betting to finance new higher education scholarships.
