Two days after the start of the State Assembly’s winter session, Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan (right) took action against the Sense State. Brandon Beach from Alpharetta, Matt Brass from Newnan and Burt Jones from Jackson.

The demotions mean Duncan will no longer chair the Transport Committee and Jones will be replaced as the head of the Insurance and Labor Committee. Brass will now oversee a banking committee – a smaller post he previously held, according to the Journal-Constitution.
