It just sounds like a stump speech:

When I was running for governor in 1998, I saw the difficulty homeowners and family farms were having paying property taxes. I decided, and the General Assembly agreed, that we should create a program of giving a credit of $200 to $300 to each homeowner on their annual property tax bill. This cost the state about $500 million per year, and the intention was to double that amount over the next few years. Fully implemented, the Homeowners Tax Relief Grant would have exempted from taxation the first $50,000 in value of homes and family farms.

The current governor has submitted a budget eliminating this credit, and members of the General Assembly are wringing their hands, saying how difficult it is to find the money to continue this promise made to the people of Georgia. We all know that our state’s economy is in dire straits. So you may ask, how have special interests and their lobbyists caused this inability to keep the property tax credit?
[...]
Another current issue where we need a People’s Lobbyist is the effort this year to force the Public Service Commission to allow Georgia Power to collect from ratepayers the cost of two new multibillion-dollar nuclear reactors whose costs have not even been determined. This is like being forced to make payments on a car that you haven’t shopped for, much less even bought, and may not buy for several years.

In fact, Georgia Power demands these payments even though Georgia exports electricity to Florida under an agreement accepted by Georgia Power. Now, don’t get me wrong. I am not necessarily against nuclear power under the right circumstances, and I think we should build generating capacity for our future. I am, however, opposed to the public paying for it today when Georgia Power’s earnings already may be sufficient to fund the cost of construction.

A People’s Lobbyist would point out that Georgia Power has a rate case next year, and it is commonly thought that we are overpaying them today given their investments and the monopoly granted to them. The People’s Lobbyist would argue that, in fact, next year the Public Service Commission may very well decide that this new construction can be paid from our current payments to Georgia Power rather than from an additional levy on ratepayers during these difficult economic times.
