LAWMAKERS PUSH FOR LABOR SATELLITE OFFICE IN
COLQUITT/MILLER COUNTY
Atlanta Representative Gerald Greene (D-Cuthbert) and Senator John Bulloch (R-Ochlochnee) are requesting Michael Thurmond, Commissioner of the Department of Labor, to explore the feasibility of a labor satellite office in Colquitt/Miller County.
"The need for this office to serve the Southwest corner of Georgia is important to our region. Senator Bullock and I understand the necessity of serving the citizens in our area and this satellite office would accomplish those goals," said Rep. Greene. "I would strongly urge Commissioner Thurmond to explore these options because it would be such a benefit to our community."
Senator Bulloch said, "A new satellite office of the Department of Labor would go long way to ensuring the citizens of Southwest Georgia have a option to turn to when looking for employment," said Bulloch. "I hope we can make this a reality in the near future."
According to Rep. Greene and Sen. Bulloch, the Chamber of Commerce, the Miller County Board of Commissioners, and the City of Colquitt are willing to work with the Department of Labor in securing this Satellite office.
Rep. Greene is chairman of the House State Institutions and Property Committee and serves on the House Appropriations, House Banks and Banking, House Inter-State Cooperation and House Administrative Services committees.
Sen. Bulloch is Chairman of the Senate Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Committee and serves on the Senate Appropriations, Senate Natural Resources and Environment, Senate Reapportionment and Redistricting, Senate Retirement and Senate State and Local Government Operations committees.
