Republicans Again Pick Richardson

Speaker of the House Glenn Richardson is one his way to keeping that title for another couple of years. Republicans in the Georgia House of Representatives voted 75-25 for Richardson over his challenger, David Ralston of Blue Ridge during a caucus meeting at the State Capitol Monday morning. The full House of 180 members will officially elect a speaker in January and Richardson can go ahead and measure the drapes if he plans to change them. During the caucus there was also a surprise move to attempt to defeat Majority Leader Jerry Keen of St. Simons but the attempt failed.
