State Rep. Roger Williams, R-Dalton, said he intends to retire when his current term expires in January, and a Dalton city councilman already has stood up to try to take his place.
“I’m certainly thinking about it,” Rep. Williams said Monday. “It’s still up in the air, but that’s my intention.”
He said there is no single reason why he plans to step down, but his eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren have something to do with it. He also said he would like to spend more time on his farm in Rocky Face, Ga.
“There’s other things I like to do that I haven’t been able to do,” he said.
Rep. Williams, who was in the Legislature when funding was awarded for the Dalton Bypass and the city’s public library, said his decision “could be subject to change.”
