Please join Marty, the girls, and I in praying for Air Force Tech. Sgt. Patterson’s family, friends, and fellow service-members. May his service to our country never be forgotten.

Today, I was honored to meet with the Ambassadors of the European Union and Member States to the United States and welcome them to Georgia. The Peach State has enjoyed decades of productive partnership with these allies and we look forward to building on those relationships!

To provide further relief to hardworking Georgians, I am directing the Department of Revenue to suspend the state penalties for the use of dyed diesel on public roads.

We are in contact with our law enforcement partners statewide and in Dooly County as they respond to this event.
