The first signs of Spring are around the corner and how can we tell: St. Patrick’s Day is this week, and the Georgia General Assembly has only nine legislative days left in this session. I congratulate Marty Hogan, who was selected as the 2026 St. Patrick’s Day Parade grand marshal. This is one of the most prestigious honors bestowed upon the Irish celebration, which includes one of the largest parades in the country, and several weeks of Irish-led festivities.
