MADDOX TO CHAIR MARTOC COMMITTEE Also To Serve On Budget Writing Panel
February 7, 2003
Atlanta State Representative George Maddox, D-Decatur, has been tapped to chair the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Oversight Committee by House Speaker Terry Coleman, D-Eastman.
Maddox was also named to the House Appropriations Committee where he will serve on the Higher Education, Community Development, and Tourism Subcommittees.
Additionally, Maddox was appointed to the Industrial Relations and Insurance Committees.
The 180 member Georgia House is broken down into thirty-five standing committees which review, by subject area, thousands of bills and resolutions proposed each year aimed to amend Georgia statute. Without the committee system, lawmakers would become bogged down in the massive task of evaluating each bill presented for consideration. It therefore becomes the duty of the committee to sift through the mountain of proposals to find those most worthy of consideration by the full body of the House of Representatives.
The MARTOC Committee was established by the General Assembly in 1973 to oversee and review the operations of MARTA in planning, constructing, and operating a rapid transit system.
"Representative Maddox's outstanding service in the House and especially on MARTOC makes him an able and respected choice," said Speaker Coleman. "His demonstrated leadership and ability will contribute greatly to the effectiveness of the committee and the House generally."
