Most of Newton County's legislators attended a meeting held Tuesday at the Covington Rotary Club. Both of our new legislators, Rep. Steve Davis (R-McDonough) and Sen. Ronald Ramsey (D-Lithonia), both introduced themselves to the gathered Rotary members and explained how they felt about serving Newton County.

We appreciate our legislators taking the time to speak to the citizens, and we thank the Covington Rotary Club for organizing the event.

We would like to welcome them both to Newton County and want to encourage them now to represent their constituents well.
