Cagle Statement Regarding House of Representatives Vote on H.R. 1246

(Atlanta, GA) – Lt. Governor Casey Cagle released the following statement regarding the House of Representatives vote today on H.R. 1246:

“Now is the time for targeted tax relief that stimulates the economy and creates jobs.  The House has started this debate, and the Senate will make time for meaningful and substantial deliberation on tax relief to benefit our economy during this economic downturn.  Make no mistake, we have an equal constitutional role with the House on fiscal issues, and the upper chamber will play a significant role in considering, and hopefully passing, an economic stimulus package that meaningfully benefits every Georgia citizen.”
