概要

 Thousands rallied at the Georgia State Capitol on Saturday for the "No Kings" march, protesting President Donald Trump's immigration policies and funding for ICE and Border Patrol, with organizers estimating 22,000 attendees, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. As the 2026 legislative session races toward its Thursday Sine Die deadline, lawmakers are debating key items including the state budget, tax reforms, childhood literacy initiatives, and a shift to hand-marked paper ballots, reports the AJC. House Speaker Jon Burns' literacy proposal clashes with the Senate's version, while Lt. Gov. Burt Jones pushes to eliminate the state income tax by 2032, countering House efforts to cap property taxes at 3 percent annually.

In business news, economic recruiters urge lawmakers to preserve tax breaks for data centers and incentives, arguing they are essential for competition amid affordability concerns, per the AJC. The Senate approved a $38.5 billion FY2027 budget cutting $110 million from public college funding but allocating $20 million for families with intellectual disabilities and $100 million to restore retiree cost-of-living adjustments, as noted by Sen. Sally Harrell. A GOP bill to cap out-of-state campaign donations, making money laundering a felony, advances through the House, according to The Current GA.

Community efforts include Georgia State's new baseball park on the historic Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium site, boosting campus infrastructure. Public safety saw a precautionary boil water advisory in Perry after a water main break, per EM Network. No major storms hit recently, though a Red Flag Fire Weather Warning affected north and central Georgia on March 28 due to low humidity, from the City of South Fulton.

Looking Ahead: Watch for budget negotiations, special elections, and DREAM Scholarship votes as the session closes, alongside potential severe thunderstorms midweek per National Weather Service forecasts.
