Why transgender issues are front and center in Georgia

A measure to prevent gender-affirming care for children moves forward in the Georgia legislature. In this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, AJC political insiders Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy cover SB 140, which passed in the House Public Health Committee, and look at how this issue has become the social focal point for Republicans this year.

Plus, our insiders break down Governor Kemp’s midyear budget, which includes a property tax cut of nearly $1 billion, and what proponents of sports betting in Georgia will have to do to bring it to a reality in the Peach State.
