Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp's office raised concerns over the Buckhead City proposal to secede from Atlanta, citing "unforeseen outcomes" as the measure heads toward a vote Thursday.
On Tuesday night, Kemp’s executive counsel David Dove outlined in a two-page memo with at least a dozen questions regarding Senate Bills 113 and 114, which passed in a Senate committee on Monday, marking the first time the secession legislation advanced out of committee in the Georgia General Assembly.
