Incorporation Bill for St. Simons Ruffles Feathers in Georgia Legislature
Monday, February 29th, 2016
Plans by an Atlanta-area lawmaker to introduce a bill to incorporate St. Simons Island into a city had local legislators fuming Friday.
Rep. Tom Taylor, R-Dunwoody, said he intends to introduce the bill next week after Monday’s deadline for it to be acted on this year. He didn’t say he necessarily supports creating a city out of the island but that he will sponsor the bill to open the door for its passage next year.
