Shortly after the Board of Regents appointed Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens as president of Kennesaw State University at its meeting Wednesday, Gov. Nathan Deal confirmed long-circulating rumors in tapping Department of Economic Development Director Chris Carr as Georgia’s next attorney general.
During a press conference at the state Capitol, Deal hailed Carr as an “extremely gifted administrator” who is more than capable of stepping into the AG’s job, effective Nov. 1, where he will oversee more than 300 staff members and lawyers, and more than 250 specially-appointed attorneys general.
