Governor Sonny Perdue, Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle and House Speaker Glenn Richardson jetted into Columbus Thursday morning.

The trio laid out their plans for the upcoming legislative session during the barnstorming stopover, part of a two-day, cross-state marathon.


Perdue, flanked by Cagle and Richardson, listed his agenda:

“Focus on the primary issues that concern people: healthcare, transportation, jobs, education, and certainly water's been on all of our minds.”
Columbus Mayor Jim Weatherington said Perdue “hit all the right buttons,” in his remarks encouraging local input for the statewide water plan.
State representatives and other city officials were also on hand for the half-hour visit.

Perdue and company flew on to Cartersville and Gainesville from Columbus.
