QUOTE
“By limiting the ability for local governments to enact police reform and accountability through reductions in police budgets, House Bill 286 stands in the way of one of the meaningful methods of police reform and in turn, it stands in the way of the ability for local governments to work towards fulfilling the promise of this nation - life, liberty and the equality of opportunity for all,” said Christopher Bruce, political director of the ACLU of Georgia.
