Jan Jones

This is the seat to replace or succeed.

Jan Jones, Speaker Pro Tem in the House.

We'll talk about that in a minute.

So open seat.

Definitely.

I've seen many friends and neighbors move to other counties, and I always talk to them, and property taxes is in that top three of the reasons.

As I started off saying that you are, this is Jan Jones's seat, and all due respect to the Tea Party movement, this is Jan Jones's seat.

When I think about that, I'm remembered of the old quote from American history, Thomas Jefferson talking to Benjamin Franklin when Jefferson's was going to be minister to France after Franklin.

It's bad policy.

I remember sitting in elected office when John Albers and Chuck Martin and Jan Jones kind of stood up to the Fulton County Commission over their assessments and rolled them back.

And I think that Georgia, by and large, is catching up to something that they did almost a decade ago because – It was an issue as a guy who's been in his house since 2011 that didn't really resonate with me because Republicans went and took control and the ability to say, if you're not going to properly assess people's property taxes, then we're going to roll it back to this date.

And it's at least a static place in the future.
