    If you are serious about pushing change here in Atlanta/Georgia around early-stage investing, I would encourage you to read this and do your part to help!

    The House Retirement committee will take a vote on SB 80, the bill to allow the employee retirement system to invest in certain types of alternate investments. Please email the members of the committee encouraging them to support this bill. Most effective would be a short email stating that this bill will put Georgia in step with the 49 other states on this issue and that it will be positive for economic development and job creation in Georgia.

    SB80 has passed the retirement committee! Now needs to get scheduled by Rules, then voted on by the full House. So every representative is now a target! Call yours on Monday! More details at http://tinyurl.com/2po3w9
