En lenguaje claro
This resolution recognizes the career of Ben Joseph "Joey" Brush, Jr., who served in the Georgia House of Representatives in the 1990s and later represented District 24 in the Georgia State Senate from 1997 to 2004, where he chaired the Senate Education Committee. The resolution's operative effect is to officially dedicate the intersection of State Route 232/Columbia Road and Louisville Road in Columbia County as the "Senator Joey Brush Memorial Intersection."
