Sen. Isakson visits Statesboro, discusses Ogeechee River
W 081612 ISAKSON 01jpg
U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson conducts a town hall style meeting Thursday at Georgia Southern University's Nessmith-Lane Center for Continuing Education.
U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson came to Georgia Southern University on Thursday to speak about the economy and job creation, but ended up spending most of his time discussing the plight of the Ogeechee River. The forum was held in the GSU Nessmith-Lane Conference Center ballroom. Fielding questions from reporters before the meeting and from members of the audience after the forum began, Isakson, R-Ga., said that while he has made sure the issue has received attention on a federal level, it would be inappropriate for him to take action because the issue is currently in litigation.
