Christian Group Calls for Rogers to Relinquish Leadership Post
The Georgia Christian Coalition is asking for Chip Rogers to give up the position of Georgia Senate Majority leader.
Jerry Luquire, president of the Georgia Christian Coalition, has publicly asked Georgia Senate Majority Leader Chip Rogers (R-Woodstock) to step down from his seat, according to WSB-TV.
Luquire called for Rogers to give up his leadership post as a result of his connections to a business that handicapped sports events for gamblers, WSB-TV reported.
Rogers appeared on a show that predicted the winner of sports events, but claimed he read from a script and never actually predicted who would win, WSB-TV reported.
