Senate Resolution 756 threatens to undermine Georgia’s ability to remain an attractive state for families and businesses. Passing the amendment creates a rigid formula in Georgia’s constitution that inflicts a series of never-ending automatic revenue cuts based on arbitrary targets.

Lower revenue could harm Georgia’s capacity to meet increasing educational and infrastructure needs of a swelling population.
