Well, the new governor of Georgia is showing his true GOP characteristic.
Georgia cost-cutting panel to pay staffer six-figure salary
Brian Kemp reminded voters every chance he got during last year’s race for governor that he wanted to cut business regulations and unnecessary bureaucracy, sometimes taking out a chain saw to emphasize his point.
But the new governor’s solution conflicts with his small-government ethos: He plans to create more government in order to reduce it. He recently started a new state office, called the Georgians First Commission, to cut regulation.The governor’s pick as “director of implementation” for the commission is Scott Hilton, a banking executive and Gwinnett County Republican who lost a House seat in November. Hilton will get a $175,000 annual salary — the same amount that Kemp makes.
The governor’s critics see a contradiction in the making: Kemp’s promise to reduce government bureaucracy by creating a new layer of state government. State Rep. Al Williams, D-Midway, said he’s not sure if “hypocritical is strong enough” to describe Kemp’s action.
