Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed a bill into law on Friday creating a new commission with the power to discipline and remove wayward prosecutors, saying it will curb “far-left prosecutors” who are making communities less safe by being soft on crime.

Kemp, a Republican, made the remarks at the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office in Savannah, where he signed the measure establishing the Prosecuting Attorneys Qualifications Commission (PACQ), part of a broader GOP thrust to get tougher on crime and make communities safer.
