Channel: Mike Stroud
Date: 2015-02-26

From the 40th anniversary of the now-cancelled "Lawmakers" nightly recap program of the day's activities in the Georgia General Assembly on GPB, in 2010. A historical look at the February 9, 1984 broadcast of a clip in which several state senators deliberate on a controversy in which former Georgia Governor George Busbee (in office 1975-83) submitted a claim to a larger retirement pension on the basis of his inability to run for a third term in 1982 and his having been a member of the General Assembly prior to 1972. The legislators in the clip are Sens. Paul Coverdell (Republican Minority Leader--Atlanta), Loyce Turner (D-Valdosta), Al Holloway (D-Albany), and Hugh Gillis (D-Soperton). Coverdell went on to become a U.S. Senator, serving from 1993 until his death in July 2000.
