One of White County’s top leaders recently spent a day with state lawmakers.
White County Board of Commissioners Chairman Travis Turner spent time at the Georgia State Capitol in Atlanta on Thursday, March 6, to advocate on behalf of White County residents amid Crossover Day.
Crossover Day, one of the most crucial dates of the legislative session, marks the deadline for bills to move from one chamber to the other in order to remain eligible for passage in the current session.
Turner actively engaged with state lawmakers during the visit, according to county officials, and pushed for legislation he believes would benefit White County. At the Capitol, he also raised concerns about potential measures that could have unintended consequences for the community.
County officials say Turner remains committed to ensuring local voices are heard at the state level, and that his efforts reflect the county’s dedication to securing positive outcomes for its residents while mitigating any negative impacts from state-level policies.
