McCall to Chair Agriculture Panel
State Representative Tom McCall, R-Elberton, has been named chairman of the House Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Committee. McCall was named to the post by the Committee on Assignments formed by House Speaker Glenn Richardson, R-Dallas.
"I have a lot of faith in Representative McCall to lead by example and to make tough decisions," said Speaker Richardson. "He has many years of faithful service to the state and I have every confidence in his ability to represent the interest of all Georgians."
34 separate standing committees consider by subject area the thousands of bills and resolutions which are introduced each year and range from topics including state budgeting, the courts, public health and taxation.
The Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Committee oversees farm policy and proposed agriculture related legislation in addition to a wide range of issues affecting Georgia consumers.
"I'm excited about being chairman of the Agriculture Committee and looking forward to the challenges ahead," said Rep. McCall. "Agriculture is the state's number one industry and we must do everything we can to protect the interests of Georgia's farmers and agribusinesses."
