GBPI president discusses 2024 legislative priorities, Governor Kemp’s budget proposal

Georgia Budget and Policy Institute (GBPI) recently released its 2024 State Policy Priorities.

Staci Fox, the president and CEO of GBPI, discussed it on Friday’s edition of “Closer Look.” Fox also gave an analysis of Governor Brian Kemp’s recent budget proposal.

In his State of the State address, the Republican governor proposed spending “an additional $5 billion in the current budget running through June. Beginning July 1, Kemp proposes increasing spending by $3.6 billion over this year’s original budget, including pay raises to more than 300,000 state employees and teachers.”

Georgia's 2027 Budget Primer

The budget primer outlines the state budget for the year, recognizes substantial changes from the preceding year and provides a clear-eyed view on what lawmakers have prioritized for our state. This year, there will also be a focus on budget trends over the full eight years of Gov. Kemp’s tenure as we prepare for Georgia’s next leaders to take office.

Our budget primer is slated to be published the first day of the fiscal year, July 1. Join us for our virtual town hall to discuss our data, or request a physical copy of the primer to be sent to your address.
