Political retaliation not over yet?

The latest, and preferably the last, shoe has dropped in the Georgia Republican leadership’s vendetta against its out-of-favor colleague, Sen. Josh McKoon, R-Columbus. (Political payback apparently wears an indefinite number of shoes.)

It was made clear in the closing days of the legislative session, when almost $8 million in capital funding for Columbus State University was pulled from the budget, that Gov. Nathan Deal, House Speaker David Ralston and others were putting heat on McKoon for political differences that are by now familiar.
