Democratic leaders in Georgia are denouncing Gov. Brian Kemp’s plans to begin reopening the state’s economy before the end of the week, claiming they were not adequately informed of his decision and predicting it would endanger public health.
“I’m perplexed that we have opened up in this way. And again, I can’t stress enough, I work very well with our governor, and I look forward to having a better understanding of what his reasoning is,” Bottoms added. “But as I look at the data and as I talk with our public health officials, I don’t see that it’s based on anything that’s logical.
Stacey Abrams, Georgia’s 2018 Democratic gubernatorial nominee, expressed similar frustration toward Kemp, charging Tuesday that he “didn’t consult with mayors” before settling on a schedule for reopening the state.
