Perdue starts second term
By SHANNON
McCaffrey
Associated Press Writer
ATLANTA - Gov. Sonny
Perdue took the helm
Monday for a second term
as governor, saying he was
“humbled by history” and
promising to leave Georgia
on firm footing for the gen
erations to come.
“I am making a solemn
pledge and commitment to
every Georgian to ensure
that the foundation for
the future is in place, that
it’s rock solid and secure,”
Perdue said.
Perdue invoked his chil
dren and grandchildren
throughout his address
which he referred to as a
“State of the Future.”
“I want to hand off a well
run state,” the governor said.
“One whose principles will
endure beyond a change in
leadership. One whose chil
dren are at the top of their
national class. One who is
operating with strong con
servative fiscal policies and
one who is moving forward
with momentum.”
Perdue and other constitu
tional officers were sworn in
before thousands of specta
tors at the cavernous Philips
arena.
The governor took the
oath of office on a Bible open
to a verse from the Book of
Joshua.
“As for me and my house,
we will serve the Lord,”
Perdue said quoting from
the Scripture.
Cannons from the Georgia
National Guard rattled
windows of nearby Atlanta
office buildings with a 19-
gun salute. The choir from
Perdue’s own Woodstock
Baptist Church sang “Battle
Hymn of the Republic.”
Perdue, who made his
tory as Georgia’s first
Republican governor since
Reconstruction, summoned
three of his Democratic pre
decessors - Carl Sanders,
Joe Frank Harris and Zell
Miller - to join him briefly at
the podium.
State Sen. Casey . Cagle
was also sworn in Monday
as Georgia’s first Republican
lieutenant governor. He
choked up as he introduced
his family.
“Today I reaffirm my com
mitment to you that I will
always give you my best,”
Cagle told the crowd.
Perdue began the day at
a morning prayer service at
Northside United Methodist
Church was Perdue’s son,
the Rev. Jim Perdue. He
exhorted his father to be
God’s man.
“Dwelling on God’s holy
hill is better than dwelling
on Capitol Hill any day,” the
younger Perdue said.
The pomp and ceremony
of the inauguration came
on the same day as state
lawmakers returned to work
under the state Capitol’s
gold dome.
Lawmakers handled most
ly legislative housekeeping
duties as they returned to

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 2007 ♦
work. But the day did have
its fireworks. The state
Democratic Party filed an
ethics complaint on Monday
alleging that House Speaker
Glenn Richardson had an
“inappropriate” relation
ship with a female lobbyist
for Atlanta Gas Light at the
same time he co-sponsored a
bill financing a S3OO million
pipeline for the utility.
Richardson and Senate
President pro-tem Eric
Johnson were re-elected by
their peers - but in dramati
cally different fashion.
In the Senate, Johnson
was selected in a unanimous
vote in which Sen. Robert
Brown, leader of the cham
ber’s minority Democrats,
seconded his nomination.
In the House, Richardson
faced a more fractious
assembly. He won his sec
ond term by a 113-66 vote,
earning the support of at
least seven Democrats who
crossed party lines rather
than cast a ballot for their
party’s candidate, House
Minority Leader Dußose
Porter.
The Senate also reworked
its rules in anticipation
of Cagle’s swearing-in.
During the past four years,
Democratic Lt. Gov. Mark
Taylor presided over the
GOP-controlled chamber,
prompting leaders to strip
him of many of the office’s
traditional duties.
On Monday, the Senate
voted 44-10 to hand those
duties - including appoint
ing committee chairmen and
deciding which committee
handles each piece of legisla
tion - back to Cagle.
Following his inaugura
tion, Perdue spent about 20
minutes reviewing troops
from the Georgia National
Guard and Georgia State
Patrol before he was to don
a tuxedo for the ball at the
Georgia World Congress
Center, also in downtown
Atlanta.
Twenty-thousand invi
tations were sent out for
the party and swearing in
ceremony, with each invitee
able to ask for four tickets.
Tickets to the ball are SSO
apiece.
Perdue was an unlikely
giant slayer at his last inau
guration, which marked a
turning point in Georgia’s
political landscape. Perdue
had pulled off a stunning
upset of Democrat Roy
Barnes and the GOP was in
its ascendancy.
