"The men and women of GUCA believe in free markets and competition. I stand with them," Rogers said in a statement issued through the Senate press office.
In the same statement, GUCA leaders said Rogers was selected because of his longstanding support for Georgia utility contractors and that he "played an integral role in passing favorable legislation for GUCA in the 2010 Legislative Session, including SB 339, GUCA's legislation that allows utility contractors to directly bid on utility construction work ... and specifically helped carry legislation to help reduce the property tax burden for heavy equipment operators."
GUCA is a nonprofit state trade association. Representing more than 308 utility contractors and affiliated firms statewide, GUCA members provide the materials and workforce to build and maintain the state's network of water, sewer, gas, telecommunications and other utility systems.
