So today I say, the outlook in Georgia has never been brighter.

I am committed to making Georgia a model for open and honest government

We will never forget those like my great-grandfather who fought at Vicksburg.

Business and the state have a common interest; not an adversarial interest.

The time has come to end social promotion in our schools.

We live in a state with a wonderful climate and plenty of natural beauty, from the shores of Cumberland Island to the Chattahoochee River to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

There is no country on earth with a stronger tradition of protecting the public's right to know.
