ATLANTA — As Geogia Gov. Brian Kemp confirmed details of a monumental solar energy expansion this week, he jolted the crowd of business executives and political officials by venting about the earlier-than-planned release of the project.
“It amazes me how much the locals in this state can keep these things a secret but our friends in Washington do not understand how economic development works,” the governor said as laughter rippled across the ballroom.
As the chuckles died down, the governor smiled as he explained the outburst: “I can be a little frank now in my second term.”
