On Tuesday the Cobb Board of Commissioners issued a proclamation to retired U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson, who stepped down on Dec. 31 due to health reasons.
The East Cobb resident is the only Georgian to serve in both the state house and senate and U.S. house and senate. Isakson also served as chairman of the Georgia Board of Education during a 45-year career in public office.
“It’s been a pleasure representing this county for a long time,” Isakson said upon receiving the proclamation.
“I appreciate all you’ve done for me and all the nice things you’ve said about me.”
Isakson also commended outgoing Cobb County Manager Rob Hosack (at far right in photo), who is retiring in April.
