En lenguaje claro
This resolution is a ceremonial honor from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It recognizes Kay Pippin, who in 2013 became the first woman to seek the mayor's office in the city of Jackson's 200 year history, for a range of accomplishments during her tenure, including new water and sewer infrastructure, street paving, a hiking and biking trail, blight removal, and securing the city's first state and federal grants. The resolution also recounts her earlier career, including nine years on the Butts County Board of Education, decades as a lobbyist and government relations official for the Georgia Association of Educators, and her later role leading the Henry County Chamber of Commerce. The Senate directs that a copy of the resolution be given to Pippin as a keepsake.
