Representative Tim Fleming (District 114) joins The Town Square Podcast for a deep dive into Georgia politics, the legislative process, and his newly announced run for Secretary of State.

That’s how Marshall “MB” McCart describes the property tax hikes and local government spending that, in his words, are pushing seniors and working families to the brink.

In this episode of The Town Square Podcast, MB doesn’t hold back:

🐜 Calls Rivian a “railroad job” that stripped Morgan County of home rule.

🐜 Says state leaders are “sending a message: don’t mess with us.”

🐜 Exposes the give-and-take of development—“Without all this housing, you wouldn’t have Publix.”

MB McCart is a self-proclaimed “semi-professional ant-hill kicker,” and in this conversation he absolutely kicks the hill. 👀
