11Alive has some video of a controlled blast on Hwy 316 in between Collins Hill Rd. and Hwy 20. This was the third of four planned blasts as they try to remove granite.

Here’s a Tweet I sent out earlier today after learning I had earned a perfect score on the Americans For Prosperity 2013 Legislative scorecard:

Personally, I’d prefer there were no “State run Lodges” but since there are I support the Governor’s decision to put the Bibles, provided free at no taxpayer expense by the Gideons, back into State run Lodges. Read more here and below is video from my debate last night on 11Alive.

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.”

“For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:1-11

Monday morning I was a guest on Tim Bryant’s radio show “Newsmakers” on WGUA. You can listen to the audio below. I came on about 15 minutes into the program. We talked about the ethics bills, the importance (in my mind) of campus carry, and other stuff.

Christopher King of CBS46 in Atlanta came by my Capitol Office a few days ago to talk about HB219 which I had introduced. HB219 would allow children who are victims of human trafficking or sexual exploitation and have been charged with a sexual crime, to go before a Judge and get their records sealed. This will allow victims of human trafficking to move on with their lives.

HB219 was added to HB242, the Juvenile Justice Code reform bill in the Senate earlier this week.
