The “Two Georgia” problem — the gap between the quality of life in Georgia’s urban and rural areas — is an old one.
This legislative session, lawmakers have continued to talk about what can be done to close that gap and help rural Georgia communities.
Emma Hurt is one of the reporters who covers the Capitol for WABE.
On “All Things Considered,” she joined WABE’s Denis O’Hayer to explain some of this year’s proposals for rural Georgia — and how difficult it is to find common ground about them.
