Kemp begins second term in Georgia with new pay raise promise | Ap

ATLANTA (AP) — Brian Kemp of Georgia is scheduled to be sworn in for a second term as governor on Thursday and promises across-the-board pay increases for state employees and public school teachers amid questions about his long-term legacy, even as he rides politically high.

The Republican plans to use his inaugural address to propose further pay rises, according to draft remarks seen by The Associated Press, though the exact amount won’t be announced until Thursday.
