About this book

A governor makes many speeches. During his eight years, Zell Miller made over 1800 of them. This is a selection of several complete speeches and excerpts from many others. These words helped shape his administration and give an insight into the man and his talent for communication. There are common threads woven all through these speeches: his all-encompassing reverence for education, his belief that personal responsibility comes with benefits, his love of the state's diverse environment, the importance he placed on job creation, his Marine-tough approach to crime, and his inbred frugality show up time and time again.
