Because this is Hairston's last year at GSU, he admits that he was very pleased about becoming Homecoming King. Encountering this title was very touching for Hairston and was surely not taken lightly. Two prominent Republicans politicians campaigned through Statesboro this past Homecoming weekend. Both candidates agreed that educational issues are important. Coverdell plans to enlarge the college savings fund.
Agricultural issues are a concern of both candidates, as well.
Coverdell said the Republicans have been very active in funding research for agriculture in the university system. Millner addressed the concerns of area farmers. Millner said he learned from running his business how important it is to listen to the customers. Millner plans to take the governor's office out of Atlanta and bring it to Savannah on the second Tuesday of every month, to listen to the concerns of the people of Southeast Georgia. Millner said he promised to look into every single department of the state government.
