In an exclusive interview with Channel 2 Action News, Georgia House Speaker Jon Burns is weighing in on the allegations against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
Burns told Channel 2′s Richard Elliot that he would prefer a new prosecutors’ oversight commission look into those claims, rather than using a special Senate investigative committee.
Burns sat down with us to talk about the General Assembly midway through the session.
“I happen to like people. I don’t know how you would do this job if you don’t,” Burns said.
He spoke about the plan to cut income taxes and provide tax credits for homeowners and for parents.
“We all want to keep our tax money in our pockets. We can do a better job of deciding how to invest those dollars and utilize them than the government can,” Burns said.
Democrats have insisted some of the surplus money be used to fully expand Medicaid — something Burns hasn’t dismissed outright.
He supports sending Georgia soldiers to the border to help with security.
