State Senator Cecil Staton (R-Macon) has received the highest ranking given on the Georgia Chamber’s Legislative Scorecard. The Chamber’s legislative scorecard recognizes legislators that supported strong business initiatives during the 2013 legislative session.

“It is an honor to receive this distinction by the Georgia Chamber for my efforts to strengthen Georgia’s business community,” said Sen. Staton. “Each time I cast a vote in the Senate chamber, I take into careful consideration how each bill will impact Georgia’s long-term economic growth and development.  I look forward to working with my colleagues in the General Assembly to continue supporting policy initiatives that attract quality jobs to Georgia.”

Jeff Kressin said, "People in Middle Georgia have really been lacking something of this nature."

Saturday, they'll take to the pitch one final time in search of the school's first soccer state title.
