According

to ACCG director Jerry Griffin, the award

recognizes Price as "one of Georgia's most

effective legislators," and is bestowed

annually on legislators who show "leadership

and appreciation for the concerns counties and

county taxpayers face."

Price,

who represents part of Coweta County and parts of

Fayette and Spalding counties, is specifically

singled out for handling legislation extending

the deadline for local cities and counties to

comply with new service delivery cooperation

rules, and for enacting a "redemption

clause" that lifts sanctions against

counties that haven't complied, as soon as they

do comply.

ACCG

is a lobbying and networking organization of

Georgia county governments.

The

meeting will be at 3:30 p.m. at the County

Administrative complex, 140 Stonewall Ave.,

Fayetteville.
