So Long Speaker Murphy

The last gavel has sounded for Tom Murphy, long-time Speaker for the Geogia General Assembly. He was wonderfully cast for his role. I don’t think anyone could have played him better. The picture seen here is from 1975 and features Tom Murphy with two other people Georgians would recognize……George Busbee and Zell Miller.

The New Georgia Encyclopedia article for Speaker Murphy can be found here.

Your Georgian Miller always had the admiration of this New Yorker!

I generally vote for the other side but I really liked Speaker Murphy, and Gov. Miller has my respect as well.
